Abstract
Infection is one of the leading causes of failure in titanium-based implant materials during clinical surgeries, often resulting in delayed or non-union of bone healing. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance. Therefore, developing a novel titanium-based implant material with both antimicrobial and osteogenic properties is of great significance. In this study, chitosan (CS), polydopamine (PDA), and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) HHC36 were applied to modify the surface of titanium, resulting in the successful preparation of the composite material Ti-PDA-CS/PDA@HHC36 (abbreviated as T-P-C/P@H). CS promotes osteogenesis and cell adhesion, providing an ideal microenvironment for bone repair. PDA enhances the material's biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, offering cell adhesion sites, while both components exhibit pH-responsive characteristics. The HHC36 effectively prevents infection, protecting the bone repair material from bacterial damage. Overall, the synergistic effects of these components in T-P-C/P@H not only confer excellent antimicrobial and osteogenic properties but also improve biocompatibility, offering a new strategy for applying titanium-based implants in clinical settings.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
