This work describes the morphology, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial performance of copper coating deposited onto carbon steel by cold gas spray (CGS). Cross-sectional images of the coating showed a dense microstructure, ...

This work studied the influence of the rare earth (Ce3+ and Ce4+) elements concentration in polysiloxane flints deposited on copper by dip-coating process, and evaluated their resistance in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl medium. Classical ...

Understanding biological interaction with graphene and hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) membranes has become essential for the incorporation of these unique materials in contact with living organisms. Previous reports show ...

Copper bearing IUDs main disadvantage is the initial high release (burst release) of copper ions that causes an increased inflammatory response in surrounding tissues and several side effects. In this work, we studied the ...

Sol-gel based silica nanoparticles of 100 nm were used to interact with copper ions from the dissolution of CuCl2 allowing the synthesis of paratacamite (Cu-2(OH)(3)Cl) nanocrystals of around 20 nm. The method produced ...

© 2019 The Author(s).Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) have a major impact on public health worldwide. Particularly, hospital surfaces contaminated with bacterial pathogens are often the origin of both ...

In this work the cold gas spray (CGS) technique was used to produce anti-biofilm and biocompatibility copper surfaces. Copper was deposited onto carbon steel and the phase composition, morphology, porosity, and adherence ...
