The Effect of Thickness of Titanium Nitride Coatings on Bacterial Adhesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an interesting observation of minimization of bacterial attachment on titanium nitride coatings of increased thickness. DC magnetron sputtering method was used to prepare titanium nitride coatings of different thickness and the attachment of an oral bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis was studied. With increase in thickness of the coatings the particle size increased and the order of bacterial attachment decreased while no variation was observed in the chemical composition. © Society for Biomaterials and Artificial Organs (India), 2010.

متن کاملAntibacterial PHAs coating for titanium implants
Biomaterial-associated infection is a serious complication of modern implantation surgery. Thus, the improvement of implant surfaces is required to avoid the first stage for biofilm formation, bacterial adhesion. The current research addresses this issue by developing drug delivery systems (DDS) consisting of antibiotic-loaded polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) coatings on titanium implants. Dip-coat...
