Public health is greatly impacted by personal protective equipment (PPE) and personal hygiene products like sanitary napkins and diapers.

Antimicrobial agents possess a potential to be incorporated into them to get secured against different pathogenic infections.

Most affluent nations can afford them, whereas third-world nations face a number of obstacles in acquiring PPE and other personal hygiene products due to their inefficient supply, high prices, and the use of expensive and sophisticated manufacturing technologies. Therefore, regardless of socioeconomic factors, a constant and affordable supply of PPE and personal hygiene products for every person in the world is essential.

Consequently, it is essential to develop new antimicrobial agents that are cost-effective for use in PPE and personal hygiene products.

Nanotechnology, which has revolutionized several areas in health-related issues, possess an ability to act as an aid for this purpose.

In this study, three types of metallic nanohybrids; silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and cobalt (Co) were doped into silica nanoparticles, combined, compared, and evaluated as antimicrobial agents based on their individual activity and synergistic activity.

Hence, developed antimicrobial nanohybrids has the potential to incorporate in personal care products as emerging and cost effective agents to gain good health and well being by achieving sustained development goals.
