Abstract
. The trimetallic silica nanohybrid-incorporated CA membranes demonstrated the most significant inhibition zones. The reported findings substantiate the self-sterilizing mat's viability, affordability, efficacy against a broad spectrum of microbial strains, cost-effectiveness, and biodegradability. Furthermore, the mat serves as a dual-purpose physical and biological barrier against microbes, affirming its potential impact.
