Antibacterial and cytocompatible coatings based on poly(adipic anhydride) for a Ti alloy surface.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a formation of hybrid coatings on a Ti-2Ta-3Zr-36Nb surface. This is accomplished by plasma electrolytic oxidation and a dip-coating technique with poly(adipic anhydride) ((C₆H₈O₃)n) that is loaded with drugs: amoxicillin (C₁₆H₁₉N₃O₅S), cefazolin (C₁₄H₁₄N₈O₄S₃) or vancomycin (C₆₆H₇₅Cl₂N₉O₂₄ · xHCl). The characteristic microstructure of the polymer was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Depending on the surface treatment, the surface roughness varied (between 1.53 μm and 2.06 μm), and the wettability was change with the over of time. X-ray photoelectro
