Titanium-based implants have long been studied and used for applications in bone tissue engineering, thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties and appropriate biocompatibility. However, many implants struggle with osseointegration and attachment and can be vulnerable to the development of infections. In this work, we have developed a composite coating via electrophoretic deposition, which is both bioactive and antibacterial. Mesoporous bioactive glass particles with gentamicin were electrophoretically deposited onto a titanium substrate. In order to validate the hypothesis that the quantity of particles in the coatings is sufficiently high and uniform in each deposition process, an easy-to-use image processing algorithm was designed to minimize human dependence and ensure reproducible results. The addition of loaded mesoporous particles did not affect the good adhesion of the coating to the substrate although roughness was clearly enhanced. After 7 days of immersion, the composite coatings were almost dissolved and released, but phosphate-related compounds started to nucleate at the surface. With a simple and low-cost technique like electrophoretic deposition, and optimized stir and suspension times, we were able to synthesize a hemocompatible coating that significantly improves the antibacterial activity when compared to the bare substrate for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
基于钛的植入物因其出色的机械性能和适当的生物相容性,长期以来一直被研究并应用于骨组织工程中。然而,许多植入物在骨整合和附着方面存在困难,并且容易发生感染。在这项工作中,我们通过电泳沉积开发了一种既具有生物活性又具有抗菌性的复合涂层。将载有庆大霉素的介孔生物活性玻璃颗粒通过电泳沉积到钛基底上。为了验证这样一个假设,即在每个沉积过程中,涂层中的颗粒数量足够高且均匀,设计了一种易于使用的图像处理算法,以尽量减少人为依赖并确保可重复的结果。尽管明显提高了粗糙度,但负载介孔颗粒的添加并没有影响涂层与基底的良好附着力。浸泡 7 天后,复合涂层几乎完全溶解并释放,但在表面开始形成磷酸盐相关化合物的核。通过电泳沉积等简单且低成本的技术,并优化搅拌和悬浮时间,我们成功合成了一种具有血液相容性的涂层,与裸基底相比,其对革兰氏阳性菌和革兰氏阴性菌的抗菌活性显著提高。
