| Abstract | This project focuses on the utilization of copper’s natural antimicrobial properties to solve a major public health issue. Numerous studies have shown that keyboards, in both public and private settings, are highly contaminated with potentially harmful bacteria due to their continuous and often unhygienic use. This approach prevents the growth of bacteria such as Escherichia coli in an ambient, inexpensive, and aesthetically-pleasing way. |
