fabrication of cerium-incorporated hydroxyapatite/magnetite nanocomposite coatings with bone regeneration and osteosarcoma potential.

With the ultimate goal of providing a novel platform able to inhibit bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation, and anticancer properties, cerium-doped hydroxyapatite films enhanced with magnetite were developed spin-coating. The unique aspect of the current study is the potential for creating cerium-doped hydroxyapatite/FeO coatings on a titanium support to enhance the functionality of bone implants. To assure an increase in the bioactivity of the titanium surface, alkali pretreatment was done before deposition of the apatite layer.

Electrochemically grown functionalized -Multi-walled carbon nanotubes/hydroxyapatite hybrids on surgical grade 316L SS with enhanced corrosion resistance and bioactivity.

Coatings using functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs)/hydroxyapatite (HAP) on 316 L Stainless Steel by electrodeposition at the parameter of "-1.5 V" for 30 min. with three electrode set-up configuration and optimization of various concentrations of f-MWCNTs from 1 to 5% were done to improve the coating characteristics for future biomedical applications.
