Silk Fibroin/ZnO Coated TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanotubes for Improved Antimicrobial Effect of Ti Dental Implants

The aim of the present research is to develop a novel hybrid coating for a Ti dental implant that combines nature-inspired biomimetic polymers and TiO<sub>2</sub> nanostructures with an entrapped ZnO antimicrobial agent. ZnO was used in other studies to cover the surface of Ti or Ti–Zr t...
