Virucidal thin-film coatings have the potential to inactivate pathogens on surfaces,
preventing or slowing their spread. Six potential nanoscale antiviral coatings, Cu, Cu 2 O …

The mechanisms of bacterial contact killing induced by Cu surfaces were explored through
high-resolution studies based on combinations of the focused ion beam (FIB), scanning …

Glasses with high antimicrobial efficacy were developed in the Fe2O3-CuO-P2O5 ternary
system to mitigate fomite-mediated transmission of infectious diseases in high-risk settings …

In this work, Cu–Sn–TiO2 composite coatings were electrochemically obtained from a
sulfate bath containing 0–10 g/L of TiO2 nanoparticles. The effect of TiO2 particles on …

Epilithic bacteria play a fundamental role in the conservation of cultural heritage (CH)
materials. On stones, bacterial communities cause both degradation and bioprotection …

Contaminated surfaces are a major source of nosocomial infection. To reduce microbial
bioburden and surface‐based transmission of infectious disease, the use of antibacterial …

The effect of blue light on atmospheric corrosion of Cu and on the antimicrobial properties
was explored upon exposure mimicking the condition of hygienic surface disinfection. The …

The interest in magnesium-based materials is promoted by their biocompatibility, their
bioresorbability, and their recently discovered antibacterial potential. Until now, the …

Contamination of high‐touch surfaces with infected droplets of bodily secretions is a known
route of virus transmission. Copper surfaces have been reported to inactivate human …

Cu-bearing steels are widely used in the shipbuilding and medical industries because of
their excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial properties. In this study, the …
