Apstrakt

The formation of bacterial biofilms on the surfaces of medical implants and non-critical surfaces represents an increasing problem in medical practice. Antibacterial modification of surfaces is considered a promising approach in preventing biofilm formation. Among different possible coatings, nanostructured magnetron sputtered metal oxide thin films are gaining attention as the physico-chemical properties can be controlled by simply changing the experimental conditions which consequently affects and modulates biological responses. In this study, for the first time, we compared the properties of magnetron sputtered ZnO thin films doped with Ag or Cu. In addition, the possibility of increasing the biocompatibility of the prepared coatings by biomimetic deposition of calcium phosphates on their surface was tested.
