Abstract:

A bioinspired polydopamine (PDA) layer was deposited on titanium surface by simply dipping the substrate into an alkaline dopamine solution. The in vitro bioactivity of the polydopamine coated titanium was assessed by incubation in simulated body fluids (SBF). The results showed that surface-anchored catecholamine moieties in polydopamine enriched the interface with calcium ions, facilitating the deposition of hydroxyapatite. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were metallised on the PDA-grafted titanium surface in mild aqueous environments. About 14% silver release as Ag+ ions were found after 5 d when the surfaces were exposed to deionized water. The AgNPs showed an efficient microbicidal activity against Staphylococcus Aureus bacterial strains, while not significantly affecting osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) viability.
