| Abstract | ||
| Hospitals are considered a place for people to recover and protect themselves from diseases and epidemics that have spread recently, and perhaps the internal environment plays an important role in the hospitalization process by preventing infection from the patient or to him in order to protect others, and one of the most important of those spaces in hospitals, the importance of which has been demonstrated in this last period is the isolation rooms for patients, and their internal environment constitutes an important focus in the process of recovery and controlling of infection fight, which forces this matter to search for finishing materials and raw materials that do not interact with viruses and do not stimulate their reproduction or spread, and perhaps the matter may require the intervention of the highest limits of intelligence in materials. One of the most important technological revolutions is nanomaterials and raw materials, which have sparked widespread controversy and spread in various fields, and finishing materials have witnessed a large part of this intelligent development in the composition of these.
