Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
The adhesion and proliferation of bacteria on solid surfaces presents a major challenge in both healthcare and industrial applications. In response to this problem, an effective and simple method is reported to fabricate superhydrophobic antibacterial copper coated polymer films via aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). The material is characterized using a range of techniques including electron microscopy, water contact angle measurement and elemental mapping. The antibacterial activity of the modified film is tested against the Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, and the Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus and the film shows highly significant antibacterial activity against both bacteria (>4 log reduction in bacterial numbers) in 15 min and 60 min, respectively. In addition, all the CVD modified samples results in a significant reduction in bacterial cell adhesion compared to the control materials. Thus, we report a new film type that has dual mode of action-the superhydrophobicity helps limit cell adhesion combined with a cytotoxic copper induced bacteria kill.
