Abstract:This study seeks to synthesize, by the sol-gel method, an organic-inorganic hybrid coating of polyurethane, siloxane and silver nanoparticles to cover titanium prostheses, aiming to act as an anticorrosive protection barrier, inhibiting the release of metallic ions in the human body. In this context, a hybrid based on the TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate) alkoxide precursor was used to carry out the acid hydrolysis/condensation process. Then, silver nanoparticles were added, and the mixture was done with the inc… Show more
