The deposition of thin films of bioactive materials is the most common approach to improve
the bone bonding ability of an implant surface. With this purpose, several wet and plasma …

Bioactive glasses are well-known materials suitable for bone-related applications thanks to
their biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In order to improve their in vivo performance …

Electrospun scaffolds are emerging as extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking structures for
tissue engineering thanks to their nanofibrous architecture. For the development of suitable …

Biomimetic bone apatite coatings were realized for the first time by the novel Ionized Jet
Deposition technique. Bone coatings were deposited on titanium alloy substrates by pulsed …

Substituting small molecule drugs with abundant and easily affordable ions may have
positive effects on the way countless disease treatments are approached. The interest in …

Black glasses are amorphous materials based on silicon oxycarbide. The use of precursors
in the form of ladder‐like silsesquioxanes enables the control of the amount of carbon ions …

Thin films of iron doped hydroxyapatite have been prepared by nanosecond Pulsed Laser
Deposition (PLD). The composite target used for the deposition has been obtained by …

The goal of the present study is the production of new-generation coatings suitable for hard
tissue implants, intended to decrease the healing time, limit infections and rejections and …
