Article Title: Multifunctional hopeite nanocoating on Ti64 substrates by pulsed laser deposition and radio frequency magnetron sputtering for orthopedic implant applications: A comparative study
Article Snippet: Functionalized implants demonstrate an upgraded approach in orthopedic implants, aiming to achieve long term success through improved bio integration.. Bioceramic coatings with multifunctionality have arisen as an effective substitute for conventional coatings, owing to their combination of various properties that are essential for bio-implants, such as osteointegration and antibacterial character.. In the present study, thin hopeite coatings were produced by Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and radio frequency magnetron sputtering (RFMS) on Ti64 substrates.
