“…The technique of producing a specific pattern or texture on a work surface is called surface texturing. Various techniques are used for surface texturing, including mechanical methods, etching techniques, coating technologies, and laser-based approaches [8]. The main four types of texturing methods are removal of material, addition of material, displacement of material, and self-forming [6].…”
This study investigates the biocompatibility of laser-textured 316L stainless steel (SS) coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) for orthopaedic implants. Powdered HA was electrochemically deposited on the laser-textured surface of 316L SS, and various tests were conducted on its surface to assess its biocompatibility. A particle size analyser was used to determine the average HA particle size, and a 3D optical profilometer was employed to characterise the surface roughness of the laser-textured samples. Contact angle measurement results provide insights into the wettability of the substrate. Microscopy tests revealed that, compared to those without HA coating, HA coatings on spherical dimpled textures exhibited better cell adherence. Among the tested samples, a sample with 98% laser energy input, 40.45°c ontact angle, and 75.976 µm HA coating thickness was found to be the most suitable for bone implantation.
“…There has been increasing interest in developing surface modification techniques to afford microbicidal properties and biocompatibility to catheter surfaces, as seen in the increasing number of publications in the area [Figure 2]. These surface modification methods involve the use of coatings or physical micro- and nano-dimensional surface modifications [4]. Figure 2 The number of papers obtained from Scopus using the keywords catheter AND surface AND modification.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
