Mussel-inspired functionalization of PEO/PCL composite coating on a biodegradable AZ31 magnesium alloy.
Peng Tian,Demin Xu,Xuanyong Liu +2 more
TL;DR: This feasible method for fabricating a cytocompatible and antibacterial composite coating on a biodegradable AZ31 alloy may be promising in implant applications due to the osteointegration and anti-infection properties of these materials post operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity and cytocompatibility of Ag plasma-modified hierarchical TiO2 film on titanium surface.
TL;DR: A two-defense-line antimicrobial activity in darkness with both prior electrostatic repulsion to inhibit most microbes adhesion and posterior biocidal action to kill residual ones that luckily infiltrated through the first defense line, and provide proof of concept using both clinically relevant human pathogens.
