Abstract:The incessant need for the elimination of pathogenic viruses and multi-drug resistant bacteria has been a critical issue during recent decades, and requires the creation of new antimicrobial materials. Our study describes the production of silver-modified anodic alumina substrates by two methods, and estimation of their bactericidal activity. Aluminum oxide coatings were obtained via an anodization process of low-purity aluminum in an acidic bath for different time periods. The realization of silver infiltrati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
