Antibacterial Properties of Silver-Loaded Plasma Polymer Coatings
Figure 6
(a) Example of bacteria colonization after “print test” of the HA film (“HA”), loaded with SNPs (“HA + SNPs”), and recovered by a second HA layer of 6 nm (“6 nm”), 12 nm (“12 nm”), and 18 nm (“18 nm”) of thickness (2 different samples were placed on each plate). (b) Rates of the print surfaces covered by bacteria colonies. Measurement was performed by image analysis using ImageJ software. § and # symbols indicate significant difference compared to HA () and HA + SNPs () respectively.
