Bioactive Calcium Silicate Coating of Titania Nanotubes for Controlled Drug Release

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel and facile process called “alternative loop immersion method” formed bioactive and biocompatible Zn-doped calcium silicate coating over the drug-loaded titania nanotube arrays to improve the properties of drug release. The samples were characterized by scanning electronic microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The results show that TNTs modified by Zn-doped calcium silicate coating possess improved drug release characteristics with reduced burst release (from 83% to 66%) and prolonged drug release (from 11 days to over 15 days). This approach provides an alternative to tailor the surface of TNTs and offer considerable propects for diverse biomedical applications.
