A biocomposite coating comprising chitosan and ZnO deposited on a porous Ti oxide is developed to avoid orthopedic and dental implant-related infections. The coating comprised of an inner layer of nanoporous TiO and the outer layer of the chitosan matrix with ZnO nanoparticles. Microbiological tests show that chitosan coating is effective against Escherichia coli (E. coli), however, its ability to inhibit bacterial adhesion is very limited. A 1.2-fold increase in the antibacterial activity of chitosan/ZnO coating against E. coli was detected as compared to the chitosan coating alone, and the chitosan/ZnO efficiently inhibited biofilm formation. In addition, the chitosan/ZnO coating exhibited improved bioactivity compared to the chitosan coating. The improvement in antibacterial properties and bioactivity of the chitosan/ZnO coating is attributed to the release of Zn ions. The critical force of scratching the chitosan/ZnO coating was approximately twice that of the chitosan coating. The potentiodynamic polarization results confirmed that the corrosion resistance of the implant with ZnO/chitosan/Ti structure was improved. In addition, cytocompatibility evaluation indicated that the chitosan/ZnO coating has good cytocompatibility in MG-63 cells as compared to pure Ti.

In this study, to address the susceptibility of 3D-printed titanium implants to bacterial infection, we propose to form a chitosan/ZnO composite coating by electrophoretic deposition to enhance its antimicrobial, biocompatible, and mechanical properties. The surface morphology of the composite coating is relatively flat, showing good hydrophilicity and coating adhesion, and the corrosion current density is significantly lower than that of the untreated titanium alloy. According to the results of the study, the composite coatings containing more than 0.

The development of nanomaterials has been speedily established in recent years, yet nanoparticles synthesized by traditional methods suffer unacceptable toxicity and the sustainability of the procedure for synthesizing such nanoparticles is inadequate. Consequently, green biosynthesis, which employs biopolymers, is gaining attraction as an environmentally sound alternative to less sustainable approaches. Chitosan-encapsulated nanoparticles exhibit exceptional antibacterial properties, offering a wide range of uses.
