Research abstract
DESCRIPTION: This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project shows great intellectual merit. The antimicrobial properties of copper-based alloys continue to be a topic of research interest, and there are no current publications detailing the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and anti-microbial characteristics of copper-based alloy bi-layers. Pending a successful Phase I research program, high wear and corrosion-resistant copper alloys in the form of copper-based alloys will be evaluated.The broader impacts of this project are manifold. An inherently anti- bacterial coating for hospital applications has wide-ranging effects on degree of health care and mitigation of costs incurred through infection associated with hospital practice. Commonexamples include: infections from biomedical implants, degradation of protective coatings on buildings, fouling of food products, loss of efficacy of pharmaceutical formulations, and many more. A growing body of health literature is promoting the use
