Fig. 1From: Antibacterial potency of different deposition methods of silver and copper containing diamond-like carbon coated polyethyleneScheme of deposition methods for ions: a) direct ion implantation (II), b) plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII); Note: II allows incorporation of ions only on the sample surface struck by the ion beam; PIII allows homogenous incorporation of ions on complex shaped surfaces due to liquid plasma state of the ion beamBack to article page
