Abstract

Metallic titanium (Ti) implant surfaces need improvement for bioproperties and antibacterial behavior. For this purpose, a new boron-doped bioactive apatite–wollastonite (AW) coating was successfully developed on the Ti plate surface. The effects of boron addition on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and bioproperties of the AW coating were investigated. With the addition of boron (B), the AW coating morphology became less porous and compact. In terms of bio properties, the rate of apatite formation increased with the addition of B, and the cell viability rate increased from approximately 66–81%. B addition increased the elastic modulus of the AW coating from about 24–46 GPa and increased its hardness about 2.5 times. In addition, while no antibacterial activity was observed in the AW coating, the addition of boron slightly introduced antibacterial properties. The novel AW/B composite coating obtained is promising for Ti implant surfaces.
