Abstract
. The functionalized samples showed strong antibacterial efficacy using low-concentration solutions in the in situ synthesis (2.0 mM of copper salt) and even after five washing cycles. The DBD plasma treatment improved the antibacterial action of the samples prepared in the alkaline medium.
