Enhancing the Bactericidal Efficacy of Nanostructured Multifunctional Surface Using an Ultrathin Metal Coating

Insects and plants exhibit bactericidal behavior through nanostructures, which leads to physical contact killing that does not require antibiotics or chemicals. Also, certain metallic ions (e.g., Ag+ and Cu2+) are well-known to kill bacteria by disrupting their cellular functionalities. The aim of t...
