The production of nontoxic, affordable, and efficient antibacterial surfaces is key to the well-being of our societies. In this aim, antibacterial thin films have been prepared using earth-abundant metals deposited using high-power impulse magnetron sputte ...
The anodic oxidation of polar amino acids (L-serine, L-threonine, L-asparagine, and L-glutamine) in aqueous electrolyte on smooth platinum electrode was carried out by cyclic voltammetry coupled to electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). pH (zw ...
The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating Escherichia colt inactivation by way of genetically engineered E. coli (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetic ...
Continuous development of thin film deposition technologies is essential for the fabrication of films that meet the specific requirements of their target applications and working conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of accessible a ...
Insight into two different uniform atomic-scale microstructures of Cu-and Ti-oxides sputtered on polyethylene (PET) presenting different redox properties and a distinct bacterial inactivation dynamics. Co-sputtered (CuOx-TiO2-PET) consists mainly of CuO. I ...
This review focuses on the acceleration of the bactericidal and fungicidal effects by uniform, adhesive Cu-based nanocomposites on textile and thin polymer surfaces. The acceleration of the bacterial inactivation kinetics mediated by Cu, TiO2/Cu and ZrO2-T ...
Mixed alloy MoxW(1-x)S2 (0x1) bulk samples are characterized by low wavenumber Raman spectroscopy. The results provide a convenient and reliable means for systematically determining the sample Mo/W composition. The absence of disorder effects in its interl ...
The widely different effects of Cu-polyester (PES) sputtered by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) compared to the lower energy direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) leading to bacterial inactivation are addressed during the course of th ...
Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used to deposit SiOx thin films of varying thicknesses on parylene C substrates, using hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) as a precursor. The microstructure of SiOx coatings was analyzed using X-ray photoemis ...
This article presents the evidence for the significant effect of copper accelerating the bacterial inactivation on Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr (TNTZ) sputtered films on glass up to a Cu content of 8.3 at.%. These films were deposited by dc magnetron co-sputtering of an al ...
