Active nanoceramic compound dipped in biopolymers to create composite coating for metallic implant surface.

Biofunctionalization of an implant using functional ceramics with exceptional electrical characterization, such as BaTiO and SrTiO has gained considerable attention in creating a composite coating with bio-polymer to activate metal implant surfaces for bone tissue engineering applications and, at the same time, resist bacterial infection. A Ti-Zr alloy sample was created by powder technology, and then a coating was applied using the electrospinning technique. Individually, nanopowders of ceramic compounds such as nBaTiO and nSrTiO were added to a blend of polycaprolactone and chitosan to create composite solutions that could be converted into a nanofibrous coating layer using the electrospinning technique.

Metallic Implant Surface Activation through Electrospinning Coating of Nanocomposite Fiber for Bone Regeneration.

There is a critical need in orthopedic and orthodontic clinics for enhanced implant-bone interface contact to facilitate the quick establishment of a strong and durable connection. Surface modification by bioactive multifunctional materials is a possible way to overcome the poor osteoconductivity and the potential infection of Ti-based implants. Ti-25Zr biometallic alloy was prepared by powder metallurgy technique and then coated by Nano-composite fiber using electrospinning.
