Abstract
Metal nanoparticle agglomerates may render the surface of an article biocidal toward microorganisms. Articles having a biocidal surface may comprise a coating comprising metal nanoparticle agglomerates adhered via an adhesive to at least a portion of a surface of the article. A coating formulation comprising metal nanoparticle agglomerates may be applied to the surface of an article to accomplish the foregoing.
