Ag+ release inhibition from ZrCN–Ag coatings by surface agglomeration mechanism...
Velasco, Sebastian Calderon; Escobar Galindo, R.; Benito, N.; Palacio, C.; Cavaleiro, A.; Carvalho, S.New multifunctional materials based on well-established materials to which functional properties are added, such as antibacterial performance, have become a relevant research topic, in order to meet the requirements of today's technological advances. This paper reports the results of a detailed structural and chemical characterization study of ZrCN–Ag coatings produced by reactive magnetron sputtering, as well ...
Influence of silver content on the tribomechanical behavior on Ag-TiCN bioactiv...
Sánchez-López, J. C.; Abad, Manuel D.; Carvalho, I.; Galindo, R. Escobar; Benito, N.; Ribeiro, S.; Henriques, Mariana; Cavaleiro, A.; Carvalho, S.Surface modification of bulk materials used in biomedical applications has become an important prerequisite for better biocompatibility. In particular, to overcome the particle generation, low-wear coatings based on carbon (nitrogen) and containing antimicrobial elements such as silver are promising candidates. Thus, the present work explores the potentialities of silver-containing carbonitride-based (Ag-TiCN) ...
Ag-Ti(C,N)-based coatings for biomedical applications : influence of silver con...
Manninen, N. K.; Galindo, R. Escobar; Benito, N.; Figueiredo, N. M.; Cavaleiro, A.; Palacio, C.; Carvalho, S.Ag–TiCN coatings were deposited by dc reactive magnetron sputtering and their structural and morphological properties were evaluated. Compositional analysis showed the existence of Ag–TiCN coatings with different Ag/Ti atomic ratios (ranging from 0 to 1.49). The structural and morphological properties are well correlated with the evolution of Ag/Ti atomic ratio. For the samples with low Ag/Ti atomic ratio (belo...
