This study investigated the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of the natural polymer zein combined with bioactive glass (BG) particles. Through the deposition of various BG compositions, namely 45S5 BG and Cu-doped BG, this work sought to demonstrate the ability of the films to potentiate the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) in contact with simulated body fluid (SBF). Following incubation in SBF...

In this research work, the original 45S5 bioactive glass was modified by introducing zinc and/or strontium oxide (6 mol%) in place of calcium oxide. Sr was added for its ability to stimulate bone formation and Zn for its role in bone metabolism, antibacterial properties, and anti-inflammatory effect. The glasses were produced by means of melting and quenching process. SEM and XRD analyses evide...

It is desirable to fabricate colorful coatings that have nonfading properties and are environmentally friendly. In this study, a novel approach for creating structural color coatings from monodisperse silica particles is presented. The structural color coating films, formed from an array of silica particles with a small amount of black additive, are easily prepared by a simple electrophoretic d...

Abstract Bioactive hydroxyapatite (HA) coating is applied on a commercially pure Ti by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Optimizing the structure necessary to obtain stable layer and best corrosion protection. The EPD was conducted at constant voltage of 20, 30, 40 V for 30 min in HA/DMF (dimethylformamide) suspension. Uniform HA layers with Ca/P ratio 1.82 were successfully deposited surface. ...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) can be applied as a bone implant material. HAp was composited with chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coated to Ti6Al4V improve its biocompatibility. The composite HAp-chitosan-PVA anodized unanodized Ti6Al4V. Modification of the surface by anodizing done using 20 V voltage. metal alloy electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method voltage 80 V. composites in nanotubes non-nano...
