It is well known that viruses can be electrically charged. Coronaviruses rely on electrostatic interactions to be able to attach to their host and assemble themselves into an infective form. Their structure must remain stable to spread infection. The IU researchers sought to exploit the coronaviruses' electrokinetic characteristics to try to dismantle their infectivity.

Professor Chandan K. Sen: Electroceutical Management of Pathogens
Dr. Chandan K. Sen's lab has shown the potential of an electroceutical fabric to be utilized as PPE in the fight against coronaviruses. This fabric manipulates the electrokinetic properties of coronaviruses to reduce potential for infection.
