Abstract
In this study, the attachment of saliva droplets containing SARS-CoV-2 to sixdifferent types of polymers including polypropylene (PPH), high density polyethylene(HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVCU), polyamide (PA6), polystyrene (PS), andpolyethylenterephthalat (PET) was investigated to assess the relative risk of virustransfer via fomite route based on surface thermodynamics.
