Electro-chemical deposition of nano hydroxyapatite-zinc coating on titanium metal substrate

Abstract Background Titanium is an inert metal that does not induce osteogenesis and has no antibacterial properties; it is proposed that hydroxyapatite coating can enhance its bioactivity, while zinc can contribute to antibacterial properties and improve osseointegration. Aims A nano-sized hydroxya...
