BIOMIMETIC NANOCOMPOSITE STRUCTURES DESIGNED FOR COATING OF ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS: AFM INVESTIGATION

Titanium implants are highly resistant to external forces and have affordable prices but the contact between Ti metal and surrounding native tissue could provoke an immunological response. The developing of biomimetic coating onto the Ti surface proves to be a smart choice to enhance the osseointegr...
