Effects of silver/selenium/chitosan doped hydroxyapatite coatings on REX-734 alloy: Morphology, antibacterial activity, and cell viability
The goal of this study was to improve the antibacterial activity and cell viability of the Rex-
734 alloy in biomedical applications. Various biocomposite coatings, such as single-layer
hydroxyapatite (HAp), HAp/silver (Ag), and HAp/selenium (Se)/chitosan (Chit), were applied
to Rex-734 alloy at various film thicknesses. The surface coatings were characterized by
scanning electron microscopy, SEM, EDX, XRD and coating thickness and hardness of
surface coatings were measured. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the coated and …
