One-step synthesis of ultra-porous coatings for titanium implants: encouraging superior integration with bone cells (DTF220)

We have developed a novel one-step manufacturing process to produce ultra-porous biocompatible, biostimulatory coatings on titanium prosthetic implants. The mechanical strength and stability of the new coating will be optimised and compared to current coatings. The ability of bone cells to attach and grow will then be assessed and compared to current coatings. This project will provide robust experimental results and a solid benchmark for this novel coating technology enabling a more advanced engineering of three-dimensional biomaterials for improved long-term integration of bone implants.
