Prevention of infection and enhanced osseointegration are closely related, and required for a successful orthopaedic implant, which necessitate implant designs to consider both criteria in tandem. A multi-material coating containing 1:1 ratio of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite and silver-substituted hydroxyapatite as the top functional layer, and hydroxyapatite as the base layer, was produced via the drop-on-demand micro-dispensing technique, as a strategic approach in the fight against infection along with the promotion of bone tissue regeneration. The homogeneous distribution of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite and silver-substituted hydroxyapatite micro-droplets at alternate position in silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite-silver-substituted hydroxyapatite/hydroxyapatite coating delayed the exponential growth of Staphylococcus aureus for up to 24 h, and gave rise to up-regulated expression of alkaline phosphatase activity, type I collagen and osteocalcin as compared to hydroxyapatite and silver-substituted hydroxyapatite coatings. Despite containing reduced amounts of silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite and silver-substituted hydroxyapatite micro-droplets over the coated area than silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite and silver-substituted hydroxyapatite coatings, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite-silver-substituted hydroxyapatite/hydroxyapatite coating exhibited effective antibacterial property with enhanced bioactivity. By exhibiting good controllability of distributing silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite, silver-substituted hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite micro-droplets, it was demonstrated that drop-on-demand micro-dispensing technique was capable in harnessing the advantages of silver-substituted hydroxyapatite, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite to produce a multi-material coating along with enhanced bioactivity and reduced infection.

Bone fractures are one of the most common injuries, and they have a big effect on population health worldwide. Traumatic bone injuries can be partially treated with implanting bone-graft substitutes, for example, hydroxyapatite (HA), a bioceramic that is similar materially to natural bones with good bioactivity and osteoconductivity. It could, however, be vulnerable to infections because of the way an HA-based bone graft is put in, which could be a weakness in the host's defense.

Infection in bone transplantation process is attracting considerable attention. The current study synthesizes silver/strontium co-substituted hydroxyapatite (Ag/Sr-HA) nanoparticles with combined osteogenic and antibacterial activities. Different concentrations of silver-substituted hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and then their physicochemical properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

The present study reports the fabrication of silver substituted hydroxyapatite/functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (Ag-HA/f-MWCNT) on 316L stainless steel (SS) implant by spray pyrolysis technique. XRD results show an enhanced crystallinity and crystallite sizes with increasing concentration of silver in HA/f-MWCNT. The vibrational spectral analysis revealed the presence of P-O stretching vibration of phosphate group (PO) in all the samples.

Hydroxyapatite (HA)-based biografts with selenium (Se) and silver (Ag) substitutions were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The synthesized HA-based biografts at various Se and Ag quantity ratios (wt%) were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX). Escherichia coli (JM103) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC29293) bacteria were used for the cell viability tests by performing the MTT assay.
