Bioactive coatings were obtained via the sol gel method and deposited on stainless steel AISI 316L using a pneumatic spray. TEOS and MTES were used as precursors, obtaining a hybrid sol; wollastonite bioactive particles were dispersed inside the sol. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was tested with potentiodynamic curves after immersion of the coatings in SBF for 7 and 40 days. It was possible to obtain coatings with a thickness of 47.7 ± 8 µm. In comparison with other methods of deposition, it was possible to obtain thicker coatings with the pneumatic spray deposition technique, giving the substrate a better protection factor against corrosion. After immersion in SBF (simulated physiologic fluid), the formation of an appetite film on the surface and inside the pores was observed. Deposition of the apatite film helps to promote Osseo integration, and the product formation inside the pores helps to improve corrosion resistance of the substrate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
