  • Anti-microbial coating physical vapor deposition such as cathodic arc evaporation
    Patent number: 11821075
    Abstract: A bioactive coated substrate includes a base substrate, an outermost bioactive layer disposed over the base substrate, and a topcoat layer disposed on the outermost bioactive layer. Characteristically, the topcoat layer defines a plurality of pinholes that expose the outermost bioactive layer. A method for forming the bioactive coated substrate is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2023
    Assignee: Vapor Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Patrick Anthony Sullivan, Bryce Randolph Anton
  • ANTI-MICROBIAL COATING PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION SUCH AS CATHODIC ARC EVAPORATION
    Publication number: 20230002881
    Abstract: A bioactive coated substrate includes a base substrate, a first interlayer disposed over the base substrate, an outermost bioactive layer disposed on the first interlayer, and a topcoat layer disposed on the outermost bioactive layer. Characteristically, a plurality of microscopic openings extending through the topcoat layer and the outermost bioactive layer expose the first interlayer and the outermost bioactive layer. A method for forming the bioactive coated substrate is also provided.
