Abstract
It is well-known that biologically active Ag/Cu ions are strong bactericides and silver or copper nanoparticles have been used in polymer-based antibacterial coatings. However, their poor durability has limited their use in tribological applications. This problem has been largely addressed recently by developing novel plasma co-alloying of austenitic stainless steel surfaces with both nitrogen and Ag/Cu to form wear resistant antibacterial S-phase. However, this technology is only applicable to austenitic stainless steel as the S-phase cannot be formed to other materials.
