Introduction
Large infection spreading rates combined with increasing microbial resistance to antibiotics remain one of the biggest healthcare challenges. In this context, biomaterials based on natural biopolymers with antibacterial properties have recently come to the fore as potential candidate vehicles as both preventative measures and treatments of severe infections. In this study,...
Introduction: The growing requirements for tissue engineering results in the design of new materials, including polymer composites with various modifying phases. In addition, active substances can modify the properties of materials, and thus the human body's response. For this purpose, polymer-ceramic composites with various mesoporous glass (MBGs) modifying phases were designed. Numerous...
Introduction
The rapid integration in the bone tissue and the prevention of bacterial infection are key for the success of the implant. In this regard, a silver (Ag) doped thermochemical treatment that generates an Ag-doped calcium titanate layer on titanium (Ti) surface was previously developed by our group in order to improve the bone-bonding ability and provide antibacterial activity 1....
