Research develops novel coatings to enhance implant performance, revealing superior antibacterial and mechanical properties.

The study aims to enhance the performance of titanium implants by developing multifunctional bioactive coatings.
Modified hydroxyapatite derived from caprine bone was created using AICA, sodium alginate, and polyacrylonitrile.
Coatings were applied to titanium substrates using electrophoretic deposition.
Thermal analysis and electrochemical studies were conducted to evaluate the coatings' properties.
The optimized m-HAP-3 coating showed improved mechanical integrity and reduced crystallite size.
m-HAP-3 exhibited effective corrosion resistance and excellent charge transfer behavior.
It demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Srinivasan et al. (2026) studied this question.
