Antibacterial durability testing
Study focuses on photocatalytic ZnO-based surface coatings. A new study is focused on antibacterial durability testing of surface coatings based on acrylic matrix-embedded UVA-activated ZnO. Such coatings on stainless steel were treated by dry rubbing, wet rubbing, and abrasive treatment to simulate wearing during everyday touching, cleaning, and aggressive scrubbing. Abrasive treatment caused clear topological…
