“…Rather, they subsequently partnered with academic researchers (Sundberg et al) to demonstrate the way in which more rapid contact killing/inactivation rates can be achieved by utilizing a novel nanostructured spray-dried pure copper feedstock powder instead of the conventionally gas-atomized powder typically used in copper cold spray deposition 25 Thereafter, publications focusing on various material aspects such as surface roughness, surface species and surface chemistry, corrosion, and microstructure, were pursued by Sundberg et al [26][27][28][29][30] Around the same time, Champagne, Sundberg, and Helfritch, coauthored a more focused document that reformulated their respective mechanistic framework for interpreting the postulated reasons as to why antimicrobial copper cold spray coatings antipathogenic efficacies outperform many alternative surface engineering solutions 31 . Not long after, a holistic framework for understanding the antipathogenic performance unique to copper cold spray coatings was presented by Sousa et al 22 Beyond that time, Rutkowska-Gorczyca investigated the microstructure of an antibacterial copper and titanium dioxide composite coatings produced using low pressure cold spray in 32 . Sanpo et al analyzed a copper and zinc oxide composite cold sprayed coating for the purpose of contact killing and prohibiting C. marina bacterial attachment to maritime vessel surfaces 33 .…”
