TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND PHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF POLYMER-CERAMIC COMPOSITE COATINGS FOR BONE REGENERATION

Tribological Properties and Physiochemical Analysis of Polymer-Ceramic Composite Coatings for Bone Regeneration

The biomaterial coatings for bone tissue regeneration described in this study promote bioactivity.The ceramic-polymer composite coatings deposited on polylactide (PLA) plates contain polymers, namely polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyethylene glycol (PEG), while the ceramic phase is hydroxyapatite (HA).Additionally, collagen (COL) and glutathione (GSH
