Titanium and titanium alloys are frequently utilized in clinical treatment of orthopaedic injuries. Considerable research has focused on improving bone attachment to implants by coating titanium with biomaterials. Chitosan, a partially deacetylated form of chitin, is a promising coating agent under investigation. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is currently being explored as a technique for applying bioactive coatings to implant surfaces. In this study, an EPD method was developed to coat titanium with chitosan. The titanium surface was pre-treated by sand-blasting and/or acid etching to obtain desired surface roughness. EPD was performed using a titanium cathode under constant voltage conditions with generated electric fields ranging from 0.5 to 6 V/cm. Coated surfaces were characterized by light microscopy, water contact angle measurement, SEM, and AFM. Preliminary results suggest that EPD is well-suited for depositing chitosan onto titanium implants (Figure 1). Future work will focus on minimizing porosity by using pulse-width modulation in place of constant voltage EPD. To reduce fringing effects and assist in reduction of porosity, a new EPD chamber with a vertical inter-electrode axis and a special sample mounting has been designed. Furthermore, in vitro cell culture experiments with MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblasts are planned to analyse cell bioactivity.
