Fig. 5.4 Copper oxide impregnated non-porous surfaces. (a) A nurse top station in which the
non-porous countertops are impregnated with copper oxide particles. (b) A sink made with
non-porous copper oxide impregnated material. (c) SEM picture of the non-porous material
shown in (b), demonstrating the homogenous distribution of the copper oxide particles on the
material surface. (d) An X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis of a white dot particle shown in (c),
demonstrating the presence of copper
