Surface properties and antimicrobial performance of copper coatings electrodeposited on 304 stainless steel / Nik Norziehana Che Isa

Bacterial contamination resulted from frequently-touched surface materials is responsible in the acquisition of infection especially in hospital. The utilization of copper as antimicrobial touch surfaces offers a solution that can serve as an additional line of defense against pathogens. Copper is t...
