Corrosion resistance and antibacterial activity performances of Ni-TiO₂ composite coatings

The novel properties for the corrosion resistance in a 5% NaCl salt-spray-test and the inhibitory capability of Ni-TiO₂ composite coating for the growth of pathogenic bacteria (E. faecalis, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa), under fluorescent irradiation and using a "drop-method" antibacterial experiment was set forth in this paper The antibacterial activity of Ni-TiO₂ composite coating became more significant by increasing the TiO₂ contents in the composite coatings.
