Abstract
The dissolution behavior of copper and silver was determined by incubation of mixed layers in physiological media (synthetic sweat). Copper coatings proofed to be fully dissolvable whereas silver showed lower solubility. With increasing copper content in the mixed coatings, the dissolution of silver increased as well. The observed dissolution behavior was correlated to the results of the antimicrobial activity of the investigated coatings.
