Abstract
Abstract
A deposition technology of amorphous carbon coating (a-C), doped with copper (C-$$$Cu), has been developed. The C-Cu coating deposition was performed with the simultaneous operation of arc- and pulse-arc sources with copper and graphite cathodes, respectively. There was studied the antibacterial activity of the a-C and C-Cu against E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The copper-doped coating has bactericidal activity against P. aeruginosa. The number of bacterial colonies is five times lower in compare with a-C and Ti.
