... Current research is focused on electrodeposition of HAp coatings, which has several advantages including easy setup, uniform coatings, deposition at low temperatures, and easy customization of morphology by adjusting electrolyte concentration and electrochemical potential and environmental protection. 50,51 The orthopaedic implants are of particular interest because they are ingested and remain in the body, making infections a major challenge. The accompanying infections frequently result in prosthetic device failure that necessitates the replacement of implants and typically result in chronic or recurring disease. ...

... The peaks corresponding to the surface oxygen of the ZnO lattice and adsorbed oxygen species were located at 530.04 and 531.55 in the O 1 s spectrum [37]. The high-resolution XPS spectra of Sr x Zn 1-x O samples in Fig. 2(B -D) show the Sr 3d and Sr-O occurring at 133.0 eV, which adds to the evidence of Sr doping [38]. At this energy, Sr 3d is the most intense signal that could be observed, which stands against the Zn 3S peak. ...

... (Durdu et al., 2021a;Gunputh et al., 2018;Mohammadpour;Behzadi;Moradi, 2015;Regonini et al., 2013;Yuan et al., 2021). Esse processo é amplamente utilizado na indústria para melhorar a resistência à corrosão, propriedades mecânicas e revestimentos de próteses com mudanças físicas e químicas sobre a superfície (Nakpan;Aeimbhu, 2021;Regonini et al., 2009;Zhang et al., 2020). ...

... Modifying surface coatings with AgNPs represents an attractive strategy to enhance the bioactivity and osseointegration of metallic implants used in orthopedics and orthodontics. The use of AgNPs in oxide and non-oxide ceramic coatings can minimize the infection susceptibility of metallic implants by modulating the coating's resistance to bacterial contamination and colonization, and exerting broad-spectrum antibacterial effects, while they maintain or improve their beneficial effects on osteogenic activity [477][478][479]. Furthermore, embedding AgNPs within polymer coatings represents an attractive strategy to generate antimicrobial surfaces for bone implants, with the additional osteogenic ability and boneforming potential [480][481][482]. ...

... A perovskite-structured oxide called strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 -STO) is known for its excellent piezoelectric, dielectric, and thermoelectric properties, as well as photocatalytic activity [35][36][37]. However, it has also been recognized in medicine, due to biocompatibility and bioactivity, as an osteogenesis promoter; furthermore, STO exhibits antibacterial activity, which makes it a valuable material for implants [38][39][40]. Si et al. showed that STO promotes the improvement of tribological properties, as well as the antibacterial activity when applied on titanium-based implants [41]. The potential of nanoparticle STO application in dental materials has still been limited to implant coatings, although it could offer advantages in other fields of medicine, as it has exceptional mechanical properties, such as high Young's modulus, compressive strength, and hardness [36,42]. ...

... Another study demonstrated that SrHA-Ag coatings, along with silicon co-doping, exhibited superior biological characteristics as compared to HA and HA-Ag coatings while maintaining similar anti-bacterial effects on HA-Ag coating. 71 The live/dead fluorescence staining on all the specimens exhibited their cytocompatible nature, and Ag is shown to have the least effect on the growth of osteoblast cells. Simultaneously, it can be observed that there is the highest number of live cells in the SrHA-Ag/Ti (ion-implanted) specimen. ...

... In recent years, development of water repellent and photoelectrochemical coatings have drawn a tremendous attention among the researchers towards the industrial applications such as self-cleaning [1,2], anti-fouling [3,4], anti-icing [5,6], corrosion resistance [7,8], bio-medical coatings [9,10], solar fuels production [11,12], etc Among the hydrophobic and photoelectrochemical coatings, anodic TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) on Ti foil has gained much attention over the past two decades owing to their superior properties such as photo-corrosion resistance [13], high chemical and thermal stabilities [14], non-toxicity [15], bio-compatibility [16], etc Xu, et al have first fabricated the super hydrophobic TiO 2 nanotubes coating which resulted in a contact angle of 157°. These super hydrophobic TNTs were fabricated by electrochemical anodization technique followed by dipping them in luric acid and subsequently dried at 60°C for 20 min [17]. ...

... No. assignment Infrared frequency (cm -1 ) Figure 3(b,e,d,c) prove the substitution of F À for OH À [42,44,45]. Also, stretching modes of OH À group of HA and Cu-FHA are present at 2318 cm À 1 and 2926 cm À 1 [35,42]. ...

... Silver dopant induces stresses within HA lattice; the theoretical boundary for Ag + doping is 20%. Moreover, the proper doping with silver ion is significantly below this limit 43,44 . It is widely believed that Ag-HA bioceramic composites may exhibit essential physicochemical features 45,46 . ...

... In conjunction with the recently discovered additively produced metallic scaffolds, substituted HAp coatings are expanding the therapeutic applications of metallic implants from their typical substitutive functions towards bone regeneration goals. The recent combination of substituted HAp and nanostructures has also opened up new prospects in coatings for orthopaedic applications [81][82][83]. ...
