Numerous efforts have been made to modify the surface topography and chemical
composition of biomedical implants in order to enhance the antibacterial ability and the …

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for bone implants.
However, implant failure often happens due to bacterial infection. Developing antibacterial …

Although Ti-Cu alloys have been shown to possess good antibacterial properties, they are
still biologically inert. In this study, sandblasting and acid etching combined with anodic …

It has been demonstrated that Ag-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings with excellent antimicrobial
activity and biocompatibility have the potential to reduce infection problems. However, the …

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are extensively applied in dental and orthopedic implants due to
their characteristics of good mechanical property and corrosion resistance. However, Ti and …

Bacterial infection and toxic metal ions releasing are the challenges in the clinical
application of Ti6Al4V alloy implant materials. Copper is a kind of long-acting, broad …

A hybrid coating composed of hydroxyapatite (HA), Ag nanoparticles (NPs), and chitosan
(CS) was successfully prepared on a Ti substrate by a layer-by-layer assembly process. A …

A simple and cost-efficient method to modify different surfaces in order to improve their
bioactivity, corrosion and wear resistance proved to be sol-gel coatings. The silane layers …

In orthopedic fields, effective anti-infection property and promotive biocompatibility on
surface of titanium implants are two crucial factors for long-term successful implants. Herein …

In this study, we develop a bactericidal coating material for micro-implant, TiO2 films with Ag
deposited on were prepared on titanium plates by sol–gel process. Their anti-microbial …
