Abstract:Microbial contamination on surfaces is a problem worldwide, affecting public health and industry. The increasing prevalence and severity of microbial infection outbreaks across various environments have highlighted the urgent need to develop antimicrobial coatings/surfaces to mitigate the risk of disease transmission through high‐touched surfaces. This work focuses on assessing the antifungal activity of thin films based on zinc oxide (ZnO), produced by reactive magnetron sputtering with varying thicknesses, a… Show more
