This virtual event ‘Coatings for Anti-Virus, Bacteria and Fungus Applications’ was a preview of what is to come at the International Thermal Spray Conference (ITSC 2021), it provided international participants a sampling of the quality and diversity of technical programming that can be expected at the annual ITSC event, scheduled for May 2021 in Quebec City, Canada.

Chris Berndt’s paper presented how biofilms and bofouling impact many areas of our lives, from our shower walls to huge marine ship hulls, and keeping them in check remains a difficult ongoing engineering challenge.

The solution begins at the material surface, where bacterial and organisms attach and proliferate. We already know what surface properties are effective against bacteria to prevent adhesion and growth, but fabrication of these surfaces remains a challenge. Chris demonstrated how a range of thermal spray processes have the capability to create controlled surfaces with tailor-made properties. Using these processes, novel materials can be applied as coatings, to create advanced antibacterial and anti-fouling surfaces that successfully resist the growth of biofilms and biofouling.
