Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A multilevel antimicrobial coating with "release-killing", "contact-killing" and "anti-adhesion" properties was prepared from polymer-encapsulated chlorine dioxide (ClO2), water-in-oil-in- water (w/o/w) double emulsion. A slow sustained release of gaseous ClO2 at a rate sufficient to inhibit bacterial growth (~1300 μ g of ClO2 3 g-1 3 day-1) was demonstrated for a prolonged period of time (i.e., 28 days). Touch and infectious droplets triggered an increased release of the biocides at the sites of contamination, resulting in rapid disinfection. Zinc chloride (i.e., 30 ppm) was added to provide "contact-killing" properties, while bacterial adhesion was prevented by the Pluronic polymer used to encapsulate ClO2. The new antimicrobial coating is effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. A greater than 5 log (i.e., g 99.999%) reduction of viable bacteria was obtained at a short contact time of 10 min. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
