Biodegradable Chitosan Nanoparticle Coatings on Titanium for the Delivery of BMP-2

Biodegradable Chitosan Nanoparticle Coatings on Titanium for the Delivery of BMP-2

A simple method for the functionalization of a common implant material (Ti6Al4V) with biodegradable, drug loaded chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CS-TPP) nanoparticles is developed in order to enhance the osseointegration of endoprostheses after revision operations. The chitosan used has a tailored degree...
