Electroplated Phosphonate Quaternary Ammonium Antimicrobials for Corrosion, Wear and Antimicrobial Resistant Metal Surfaces
We are proposing to use a rapid, safe and green electroplating process to adhere antimicrobial phosphonate quaternary ammonium materials onto receptive metal surfaces. Pathogenic infections are responsible for approximately 60% of all hospital acquired infections. In order to help stop the spread, high contact surfaces such as bed rails in hospitals, door knobs etc. require surface treatments that provide both corrosion and antimicrobial resistance. Alternatively, these materials may also be helpful in providing these properties to metal implants such as prosthetic hips.
