Composite dip coating improves biocompatibility of porous metallic scaffolds
Abstract
Porous materials are becoming more common for bone implants, and it is increasingly important to find surface modification strategies that affect both the implant exterior and porous interior. In this study, selective laser melting (SLM) was used to create porous stainless steel implants 8 mm in diameter, which were subsequently dip coated with a composite polymethylmethacrylate-alumina (PMMA-Al2O3) film. Imaging with electron microscopy found …
