1. An antimicrobial bi-metallic polymer-based composite comprising:
a first plurality of metallic particles encased by a first insulating material, each of the first plurality of metallic particles comprising a first metal; and
a second plurality of metallic particles encased by a second insulating material, each of the second plurality of metallic particles comprising a second metal;
wherein the first metal and the second metal are different metals, wherein the first insulating material and the second insulating material may be the same or different, and wherein each of the first plurality of metallic particles and the second plurality of metallic particles are rendered non-conductive due to the first insulating material and the second insulating material, respectively.
