Development of a self-assembly technique for drug-delivering hydroxyapatite coatings for Ti-based implants

To facilitate the long term osteointegration of Ti implants of various forms, methods aiming to facilitate hydroxyapatite deposition and enhance its adhesion to the Ti surfaces have to be developed. This work investigates the novel route of Ti surface functionalization with self-assembled monolayers...
