Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are the preferred materials for medical implants. However, easy infection is a fatal shortcoming of Ti implants. Fortunately, the ongoing development of antibacterial implant materials is a promising solution, and Ti alloys with antibacterial properties hold immense potential for medical applications. In this review, we briefly outline the mechanisms of bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on implants; discuss and classify the major antimicrobials currently in use and development, including inorganic and organic antimicrobials; and describe the important role of antimicrobials in the development of implant materials for clinical applications. Strategies and challenges related to improving the antimicrobial properties of implant materials as well as the prospects of antibacterial Ti alloys in the medical field are also discussed.

Osteoblast and bacterial cell response on RGD peptide-functionalized chitosan coatings electrophoretically deposited from different suspensions on Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:1800-1812.

Abstract
Metallic materials for long-term load-bearing implants still do not provide high antimicrobial activity while maintaining strong compatibility with bone cells. This study aimed to modify the surface of Ti13Nb13Zr alloy by electrophoretic deposition of a chitosan coating with a covalently attached Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide. The suspensions for coating deposition were prepared in two different ways either using hydroxyacetic acid or a carbon dioxide saturation process. The coatings were deposited using a voltage of 10 V for 1 min. The prepared coatings were examined using SEM, EDS, FTIR, and XPS techniques. In addition, the wettability of these surfaces, corrosion resistance, adhesion of the coatings to the metallic substrate, and their antimicrobial activity (E. coli, S. aureus) and cytocompatibility properties using the MTT and LDH assays were studied. The coatings produced tightly covered the metallic substrate. Spectroscopic studies confirmed that the peptide did not detach from the chitosan chain during electrophoretic deposition. All tested samples showed high corrosion resistance (corrosion current density measured in nA/cm2 ). The deposited coatings contributed to a significant increase in the antimicrobial activity of the samples against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (reduction in bacterial counts from 99% to, for CS-RGD-Acid and the S. aureus strain, total killing capacity). MTT and LDH results showed high compatibility with bone cells of the modified surfaces compared to the bare substrate (survival rates above 75% under indirect contact conditions and above 100% under direct contact conditions). However, the adhesion of the coatings was considered weak.

Abstract
Although titanium and titanium alloys have become the preferred materials for various medical implants, surface modification technology still needs to be strengthened in order to adapt to the complex physiological environment of the human body. Compared with physical or chemical modification methods, biochemical modification, such as the introduction of functional hydrogel coating on implants, can fix biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, growth factors, polysaccharides, or nucleotides on the surface of the implants, so that they can directly participate in biological processes; regulate cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation; and improve the biological activity on the surface of the implants. This review begins with a look at common substrate materials for hydrogel coatings on implant surfaces, including natural polymers such as collagen, gelatin, chitosan, and alginate, and synthetic materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol, and polyacrylic acid. Then, the common construction methods of hydrogel coating (electrochemical method, sol-gel method and layer-by-layer self-assembly method) are introduced. Finally, five aspects of the enhancement effect of hydrogel coating on the surface bioactivity of titanium and titanium alloy implants are described: osseointegration, angiogenesis, macrophage polarization, antibacterial effects, and drug delivery. In this paper, we also summarize the latest research progress and point out the future research direction. After searching, no previous relevant literature reporting this information was found.

MICROMACHINES 2023; 14:274. [PMID: 36837973 PMCID: PMC9965222 DOI: 10.3390/mi14020274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Over the last few decades, titanium(IV) oxide-based materials have gained particular attention due to their stability, corrosion resistance, photocatalytic activity under UV light, and possibilities for modification. Among various structures, TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) grown on Ti foil or glass substrates and obtained through a simple anodization process are widely used as photocatalysts or photoanodes. During the anodization process, the geometry of the nanotubes (length, distribution, diameter, wall thickness, etc.) is easily controlled, though the obtained samples are amorphous. Heat treatment is required to transform the amorphous material into crystalline material. However, instead of time- and cost-consuming furnace treatment, fast and precise laser annealing is applied as a promising alternative. Nonetheless, laser treatment can result in geometry changes of TiO2 NTs, consequently altering, their electrochemical activity. Moreover, modification of the TiO2 NTs surfaces with transition metals and further laser treatment can result in materials with unique photoelectrochemical properties. In this regard, we gathered the latest achievements in the field of laser-treated titania for this review paper. We mainly focused on single structural and morphological changes resulting from pulsed laser annealing and their influence on the electrochemical properties of titania. Finally, the theoretical basis for and combination of laser- and metal-modifications and their impact on the resulting possibilities for electrochemical water splitting are also discussed.

Influence of Surface Modification of Titanium and Its Alloys for Medical Implants on Their Corrosion Behavior. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:7556. [PMID: 36363148 PMCID: PMC9655659 DOI: 10.3390/ma15217556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are often used for long-term implants after their surface treatment. Such surface modification is usually performed to improve biological properties but seldom to increase corrosion resistance. This paper presents research results performed on such metallic materials modified by a variety of techniques: direct voltage anodic oxidation in the presence of fluorides, micro-arc oxidation (MAO), pulse laser treatment, deposition of chitosan, biodegradable Eudragit 100 and poly(4-vinylpyridine (P4VP), carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles of TiO2, and chitosan with Pt (nano Pt) and polymeric dispersant. The open circuit potential, corrosion current density, and potential values were determined by potentiodynamic technique, and microstructures of the surface layers and coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that despite the applied modifications, the corrosion current density still appears in the region of very low values of some nA/cm2. However, almost all surface modifications, designed principally for the improvement of biological properties, negatively influence corrosion resistance. The reasons for observed effects can vary, such as imperfections and permeability of some coatings or accelerated degradation of biodegradable deposits in simulated body fluids during electrochemical testing. Despite that, all coatings can be accepted for biological applications, and such corrosion testing results are presumed not to be of major importance for their applications in medicine.
