Abstract

The development of multifunctional Mg-based active implants with controllable degradation and Antibacterial capabilities has become a hotspot in the research field of biodegradable metallic Materials. To this end, a BN nanosheets (BNNS) _vancomycin (Van) @chitosan (CS) nanocomposite coating containing two Antibacterial components (BNNS and Van) was prepared on Mg alloys via a micro-arc oxidation (MAO) pre-treatment combined with following electrodeposition. The related characterizations of the coating show that the composite coating has a high roughness, hydrophobicity and fair corrosion resistance. In vitro Antibacterial experiments show that the BNNS_Van@CS/MAO composite coating have obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of both E. coli and S. aureus. The Antibacterial effect of the BNNS_Van@CS/MAO composite coating was attributed to the synergistic effect of CS, BNNS and Van. This study provides a valuable surface modification strategy for developing multifunctional Mg-based implants with good corrosion resistance and Antibacterial properties.
