Abstract

Abstract To enable a rapid-acting antibacterial mechanism without the release of biocidal substances, TiO2 catalysts have been considered based on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Doping with dissimilar metals generates electron-hole pairs with narrow band gaps promoting the production of ROS. Here, plasma technology is investigated to deposit Ag nano islets on defective TiOx films, stabilized by plasma postoxidation suppressing Ag ion release. Importantly, ROS generation is maintained upon storage in the dark yet with diminishing efficacy; however, it can be restored by exposure to visible light. The rapid-acting antibacterial properties are found to strongly correlate with ROS generation, which can even be maintained by functionalization with hydrophobic plasma polymer films. The cytocompatible coatings offer promising applications for implants and other medical devices.
