“…9 Other methods include electrodeposition, 10 dip-coating 11 or spin-coating, 12 atomic layer deposition 13 and low-pressure plasma chemical vapour deposition. 14 Among the wide range of techniques used to grow nanocomposite films, atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (AP-DBD) is a newly arising technology. Antimicrobial surfaces have been prepared by embedding quaternary ammonium salts in a coating.…”
