Bioactive and antibacterial coatings: several publications with international collaborators just published
One core research area in our Institute is the field of biomedical coatings. In 2021, we have published already 7 papers with international collaborators from Argentina, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Pakistan, presenting technologies for the development of bioactive and antibacterial coatings, based on electrophoretic deposition and other methods. The papers report zein-Cu doped bioactive glass coatings [1], stratified PEEK-BG plus SiO2-Ag covered coatings [2], hydroxyapatite/sodium alginate coatings [3], hybrid sol–gel silica-bioactive glass /silica–gentamicin coatings [4], ferulic acid loaded bioactive glass/chitosan coatings [5], Manuka honey-zein coatings on bioctive glass scaffolds [6], and electrophoretic zein coatings on Ti substrates [7].
