Abstract

In this work, Ag-AgCl-TiO2 coating was fabricated on titanium substrates to obtain an implant material having excellent antibacterial property and bioactivity. The coating was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The bioactivity of coatings was examined by simulated body fluid soaking test. To verify the susceptibility of implant material surface to bacterial adhesion, S. aureus (Sau), E. coli (Eco), K. pneumoniae (Kpn), P. Aeruginosa (Pae), four types of major pathogen were chosen for in vitro antibacterial analyses. The results showed that Ag-AgCl-TiO2 coating had excellent antibacterial property and bioactivity.
