Electrophoretic deposition of chitosan/45S5 bioactive glass composite coatings doped with Zn and Sr

In this research work the original 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) was modified by introducing zinc and/or strontium oxide (6% mol) in place of calcium oxide. Sr was added for its ability to stimulate bone formation, Zn for its role in bone metabolism, antibacterial properties and anti-inflammatory effect...
