Abstract:
The present disclosure provides biocidal metal particles, and methods for production thereof. The method of producing the biocidal materials includes thermally spraying, into a collection system, a feed material having a metal mixture having from about 2% to about 96 wt. % Cu, about 2 to about 96 wt. % Zn, and about 1 to about 40 wt. % Ni, under conditions to give particles with a size in a range from about 1 to about 50 microns. The metal particles are collected and are characterized in that they have an amorphous solid structure and exhibit enhanced biocidal properties.

Claim (Index 12):
The method according to any one of  claims 9  to  11 , wherein treating the polymer to expose the metal particles on at least one surface includes any one or combination of mechanically abrading the surface, chemically etching the surface, sand blasting the surface, tumbling the article, vibe bowl and thermal treatment to remove any polymer overcoating the metal particles.
