Abstract:Titanium implants, which are widely used in orthopedic implant applications, require surface treatments due to their low osteoinduction properties and the risk of postoperative infection. In this study, apatite wollastonite (AW)-based coatings with chitosan (CHI) and silver (Ag) added were applied to the titanium surface using dip coating and drop casting techniques. The obtained coating surfaces were characterized by FESEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, and TGA–DSC. Biomineralization behaviors were examined by immersing th… Show more
