“…Such films provide a biocompatible microenvironment for maintaining the bioactivity of immobilized proteins and enable protein loading. Many investigations have focused on the fabrication of CHIT -CNT and CHIT -CNT -HA composites, containing pristine CNT (Grandfield et al 2009), as well as CNT containing cationic and anionic functional groups (Casagrande et al 2008). In all cases, composite materials containing CNT showed improved mechanical properties (Jia et al 2009).…”

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is attracting increasing attention as an effective technique for the processing of biomaterials, specifically bioactive coatings and biomedical nanostructures. The well-known advantages of EPD for the production of a wide range of microstructures and nanostructures as well as unique and complex material combinations are being exploited, starting from well-dispersed suspensions of biomaterials in particulate form (microsized and nanoscale particles, nanotubes, nanoplatelets). EPD of biological entities such as enzymes, bacteria and cells is also being investigated. The review presents a comprehensive summary and discussion of relevant recent work on EPD describing the specific application of the technique in the processing of several biomaterials, focusing on (i) conventional bioactive (inorganic) coatings, e.g. hydroxyapatite or bioactive glass coatings on orthopaedic implants, and (ii) biomedical nanostructures, including biopolymer-ceramic nanocomposites, carbon nanotube coatings, tissue engineering scaffolds, deposition of proteins and other biological entities for sensors and advanced functional coatings. It is the intention to inform the reader on how EPD has become an important tool in advanced biomaterials processing, as a convenient alternative to conventional methods, and to present the potential of the technique to manipulate and control the deposition of a range of nanomaterials of interest in the biomedical and biotechnology fields.

“…This versatile technique has been successfully applied in the preparation of controlled deposits of different inorganic materials (see for example Refs. [25,26]) and even composites containing CNTs such as chitosan-CNTs [27], silica-CNTs [28], metal complexes-CNTs [29], and hydroxyapatite-CNTs [30]. Moreover, this strategy has already proven its usefulness in the preparation of patterned coatings of CNTs on conductive substrates [31].…”

Preparation of homogeneous CNT coatings in insulating silica capillary tubes is carried out by an innovative electrochemically-assisted method in which the driving force for the deposition is the change in pH inside the confined space between the inner electrode and the capillary walls. This method represents a great advancement in the development of CNT coatings following a simple, cost-effective methodology.

“…[88][89][90] The combination of CNTs with hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass particles to form novel nanostructured inorganic bioactive coatings by using EPD is discussed in the following sections. EPD methods developed recently 91,92 for the synthesis of functionalized single-walled CNTs/polymer composites, which enable also the co-deposition of HA particles, will not be discussed in this review, as they fall in the group of polymer composite films, which are beyond the scope of the present paper.…”
