Hello
Article The role of nanotechnology in the treatment of viral infections
It is possible, because some labs have already started experimenting with nanotechnology to diagnose, identify and treat coronavirus.

proposing particles of similar sizes that could attach to SARS-CoV-2 viruses, disrupting their structure with a combination of infrared light treatment. That structural change would then halt the ability of the virus to survive and reproduce in the body
Yes it is possible but need to be check and approverd Using cell line infected with SARS-CoV2
I think such research needs to do a practical experiment on viruses belonging to the same family
we don't know complete virus features yet ,so we cant use this matweeial in treatment strategies ,regards

Hi dear
it possible and some study were done about this idea
https://www.researchgate.net/deref/http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.4028%2F
Actually, this idea is plausible and it was used in 2014 through using coronavirus spike protein to induce neutralizing antibodies.
I prefer to use the nanoparticals, but should be select naoparticals with small size and a large surface area , as well as a toxicological test for it. More importantly, it should be synthesis by biological synthesis and not a chemical.

Hi
It is possible to finding and neutralizing viruses with nanomedicine. The idea of using nanoparticles is that the virus behind COVID-19 consists of a structure of a similar scale as his nanoparticles. At that scale, matter is ultra-small, about ten thousand times smaller than the width of a single strand of hair.
Regards
its possible specially if used on antiviral drug that not affect on corona virus to increase their activity to become effective on it.
The idea of using nanoparticles, Webster says, is that the virus behind COVID-19 consists of a structure of a similar scale as his nanoparticles. At that scale, matter is ultra-small, about ten thousand times smaller than the width of a single strand of hair.
Still, Webster acknowledges that there aren’t many researchers focusing on nanoparticles to kill viruses.
One of the main reasons for the lack of those solutions is that the same benefits that make nanoparticles ideal to fight infectious diseases also make them a concern for the U.S. Federal Drug Administration.
Because of their size, nanoparticles are pervasive (too pervasive, maybe) to seep through other parts of the body. To reduce that risk, Webster’s lab has focused on using iron oxide. Particles of that make up entail chemistry that is already natural to our bodies and diets.
Hi
It is possible and I am prefre the biological synthesis of nanoparticals
I prefer to use the nanoparticals, but should be select naoparticals affect in spike protein
Hi...

Maybe yes if synthesis of Nanoparticles less than the diameter of the virus.
Good Luck
I think, it is a awesome idea because the nano-particles have many mechanisms for antimicrobial activities
nano-particles is appropriate mechanism for treatment of many infection but in the state of viral infection such as Covid-19 I think we need to a treatment that produce ab against it for prolong immunization, only in this state may be we can used nano-particles for loading viral drug which in turn may used as a vaccine.
the nanoparticles used in detection and testing the virus , .also the virus in general range from 20 -900 nm thus consider as nanoparticules matter , for this reason we can use virus as drug delivery platform. we can used the nanoparticle as mimic material for binding by virus
Its already being used in the new proposed vaccine ( mRNA-1273 ) of coronavirus spike protein by Moderna company in the US loaded in lipid nanoparticles
, this proposed vaccine is still under clinical trials
