Anti-bacterial silver coatings exhibiting enhanced activity through the addition of platinum
TL;DR: In this article, the use of 1% Pt in a magnetron sputtering target was found to significantly enhance the anti-bacterial effectiveness of the Ag coatings, and up to a 2 log reduction in bacterial adhesion was achieved for 5 nm thick Ag/1% Pt coatings on silicone, which did not exhibit cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited onto austenetic stainless steel hip implants using a saddle field source deposition system and exhibited a significantly lower level of wear after 6 million cycles on the simulator compared with uncoated femoral heads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deposition of anti-bacterial silver coatings on polymeric substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, a low temperature (708C) magnetron deposition process was developed for the deposition of silver coatings on thermally sensitive polymeric substrates, which was achieved by combining magnetron sputtering with a neutral atom beam (Saddle Field) plasma source.
