“…The antibacterial properties of silver have been extensively proven in several reports [15][16][17][18][19][20], related to silver ion release [21][22][23]. To the authors' knowledge there have not been any publication regarding ZrCN coatings modified with silver.…”

ZrCN coatings with incorporated silver were deposited on 316L stainless steel by dual reactive magnetron sputtering to evaluate the silver influence on the structural properties and corrosion resistance of the films. Samples composition was assessed by electron probe microanalysis.Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy was used to determine the distribution of silver in the films. Structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by potentiodynamic test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results revealed enhanced corrosion resistance properties of the coated steel and higher coatings reactivity when incorporated with silver, showing a plausible silver release increment.

“…Silver, and especially, silver-based nanostructured materials have attracted much interest due to their antibacterial and biomedical applications [1][2][3]. In fact, evolution of bacteria with new resistant strains to current antibiotics [4] resulted in new attempts for revival of the long well-known antibacterial properties of silver or silver ions [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…In addition to the promising tribological properties, Ag is a potential antibacterial agent often studied and used in the biomedical field [16,17]. The combination of wear resistant coatings (CrN,TiN,ZrN [19]; TiCN [18];TaN [20];DLC [21]) with silver has been proposed as an effective solution able to improve the resistance to bacterial colonization and, simultaneously, the wear resistance of the base coatings.…”

Ag-DLC coatings with Ag contents ranging from 1.3 at.% to 13.1 at.% were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. The coatings were characterized with respect to their structure (by means of XRD and Raman Spectroscopy), mechanical and tribological properties (by scratch test, nanoindentation, residual stress measurements and pin-on-disk test). The incorporation of 13.1 at.% Ag resulted in the formation of Ag grains with 2-3 nm which promoted the increase of graphite like bonds organized in rings. Regarding the mechanical properties, no variations were found for films with Ag contents lower than 13 at.%; a reduction of both hardness and compressive residual stress were then observed for higher values. Pin-on-disk tests were performed at two different contact pressures (690 MPa and 1180 MPa) in dry sliding conditions against a zirconia counterpart. For the lower contact pressure the variations in the wear rate are well correlated with the coatings structure and mechanical properties, while for higher contact pressure the presence of Ag is relevant, Ag-DLC coatings showing higher wear rate than DLC one. SEM analysis revealed the formation of Ag aggregates on the wear track and adhesion of silver to the counterpart.
