Silver Oxide Coatings with High Silver-Ion Elution Rates and Characterization of Bactericidal Activity

Silver Oxide Coatings with High Silver-Ion Elution Rates and Characterization of Bactericidal Activity

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of silver oxide films for use as bactericidal coatings. Synthesis parameters, dissolution/elution rate, and bactericidal efficacy are reported. Synthesis conditions were developed to create AgO, Ag2O, or mixtures of AgO and Ag2O on surfaces by re...
