A review of techniques for the application of bioactive coatings on metal-based implants to achieve controlled release of active ingredients
2022, Materials and Design

Nevertheless, the use of 3D printing technology to produce bioactive coatings for metal implants has not been extensively explored, but has thus far been used to develop shell systems or porous scaffolds for controlled drug release [135–138]. A wide range of 3D printing technologies can be used, such as inkjet [139], selective laser sintering [140], digital light processing [141], drop-on-demand [142], etc. However, the most investigated methods for the purpose of developing controlled release coating systems are extrusion-based methods, such as semi-solid extrusion (SSE) and fused deposition modelling (FDM).
Metallic implants have the disadvantage of being insufficiently biologically active despite their good mechanical properties and general affordability. Therefore, their bone growth at the implant site in an osteoinductive and osteoconductive manner could be improved by using bioactive coatings with incorporated active ingredients (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, growth factors, osteoclast inhibitors, anticoagulants, etc.) that are released locally at the implant site in a controlled manner. In addition, the long-term exposure of metallic implant materials to a corrosive environment (human body fluids) can lead to toxic corrosion-induced ion release. To ensure the biological, non-corrosive, and appropriate mechanical properties of the implant-coating system, the choice of the coating method is crucial. This review describes recent developments in the application of bioactive coatings on metal implant materials, such as 3D printing, electrospinning, electrophoretic deposition, dip coating, drop casting, sol–gel deposition, biomimetic deposition, plasma spraying, layer-by-layer deposition, physical vapour deposition, and the formation of titanium oxide nanotubes by anodization. In addition, this work addresses promising ways to incorporate active ingredients into coatings through various entrapment methods of nano- and micro-encapsulation to achieve the desired controlled release.
Introduction to smart multifunctional metal nano-inks
2022, Smart Multifunctional Nano-inks: Fundamentals and Emerging Applications
Flexible electronics can be created by using a low-cost, simple fabrication process that is also eco-friendly. Because of their high compatibility and reproducibility, conductive inks have become popular for producing next-generation electronic devices. Metal nano-inks made of metal complexes or metal salts have received a lot of attention because of their ease of manufacture, outstanding stability, and low sintering temperature. The performance of several conductive ink formulations including different metal nano-inks such as metallic nanoparticles (Ag, Au, and Cu) is examined in this chapter with an examination of the material qualities, properties, and applications. Synthesis and stabilization can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Various sintering techniques including electric, laser, thermal, and chemical have been reported for organic dispersion, and different stabilizer are incorporated into the NPs conductive ink. Polymers are essential in ink formulations to ensure adequate dispersion and minimize solid metal particle agglomeration. Organic ligand shells are commonly used to stabilize metallic particles in ink solutions. The particles are coated with a capping agent, an organic substance that prevents agglomeration and oxidation. The printing conditions and the qualities of the substrate have an impact on the performance of conductive inks. The wettability of the polymer-based ink is low, but it has acceptable adherence and function. The electrical conductivity of the printed inks is unaffected by the primer coating's surface roughness, energy, or polarity. Functional polymers with applications in organic electronics have attracted attention. The benefits of polymers (lightweight, flexible, and inexpensive) are combined with the functionality necessary for electronic applications in these materials. The synthesis of solid metal-based inks and their chemistry are the topics of this chapter.
Graphene inks for the 3D printing of cell culture scaffolds and related molecular arrays
2019, Composites Part B: Engineering
Citation Excerpt :
Graphene or graphene-reinforced composite inks may become strong agents in the 3D manufacturing industries, as long as parametrization is accomplished and reciprocities are defined between the nature of the printable material and the printing technique. To begin with, there are vital distinctions between graphene-based inks meant for additive manufacture for flat or bulk specimens [29] even though reciprocations have been reported between materials and their use [30]. Several research groups have already outlined divergent concepts of 2D and 3D inks [29,31].
3D printing technology has changed academia and industry perception regarding the course of evolution in the manufacturing of customizable products, paving the way towards refined patient treatment plans that can best fit individual needs. Coupling 3D printing with suitable biomaterial and CT-scan personalized implants resembling complex tissue architecture and able to sustain cell seeding and proliferation can be fabricated. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of 3D printing available techniques and aspects related to the standards of congruity between material and procedure.
The present state of development in 3D printing materials is also assessed with the focus on graphene and graphene composite inks and the optimization of these formulations for various 3D printing methods. Recent advances in printing with cell containing inks and the new concept of 4D printing are also addressed. Biosensor fabrication benefits from graphene inks and 3D printing are highlighted and recent reports on user-friendly 3D printed graphene biosensors for biomolecule detection have also been reviewed. Overall, the manuscript outlines the benefits and limitation of 3D printing techniques and graphene based inks for biomedical purposes and their potential impact in healthcare.
