Titanium is an interesting material for biomedical implants thanks to its physical and chemical properties. In particular, TiO₂ coatings with a surface characterized by micro-patterning combined with nano-topography are extremely attractive for orthopaedic implants in terms of enhanced osteointegration and consequently improved implant fixation. In the present work, a new method for the...

Functionalization of colloidal particles based on the use of polyelectrolytes and heterocoagulation was combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD), with the aim of depositing titania–polystyrene (TiO₂–PS) composite particles on Ti6Al4V substrates. The composite particles were obtained by heterocoagulation of TiO₂ nanoparticles on the surface of monosized polystyrene beads of 4.6 μm...
