“…A common strategy is the widespread use of bactericidal and bacteria-repelling chemical agents, such as antibiotics and antiseptics [110]. Under the same category, antimicrobial surface coatings are more popular in many antibacterial applications [111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118]. Metal (Ag, Au, Cu, Zn) nanoparticles [113,119,120], metal oxide (ZnO, MgO, CuO, TiO 2 ) nanoparticles [120,121], graphene family materials [122][123][124][125], fullerene [126,127], and carbon nanotubes [125] are frequently used as coatings [128] and additives for composites [129] in implants.…”
