Physicochemical and Biocidal Properties of Nickel–Tin and Nickel–Tin—Titania Coatings

The morphology and composition of Ni–Sn Ni–Sn–TiO2 coatings have been studied by scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. electrochemical behavior the obtained in a 3% NaCl solution has examined. influence inclusion titania coating on mechanical antibacterial properties revealed. Dependences incubation time exposure to UV radiation concentration living bacteria cells surface established. In bacterial tests with deposited from electrolyte containing 2 g/L TiO2, viable Staphylococcus aureus decreases 130 90 CFU/mL 70 30 without irradiation, respectively.
