Monitoring the energy of the metal ion-content plasma-assisted deposition and its implication for bacterial inactivation

[Display omitted] •Differentiated effect of the plasma energy used to deposit Cu on PES is studied.•Distinct bacterial inactivation kinetics of E. coli were observed on Cu-PES samples.•The amounts of ions generated in the plasma phase were identified by mass spectrometry.•The effects of extracellula...
