Abstract

Copper (Cu)-containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-BGNs) were introduced in polycaprolactone (PCL) coating systems to improve the bioactivity, antibacterial property, and corrosion resistance of vulnerable magnesium matrices under physiological conditions. The influence of different amounts of Cu-BGNs in PCL coatings was thoroughly investigated determining the wettability, electrochemical properties, and antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus carnosus and Escherichia coli, as well as their cyto-compatibility. Cu-BGNs were observed randomly scattered in PCL coatings. Increasing concentration of Cu-BGNs resulted in slightly decreasing water contact angle, and reducing anti-corrosion properties of the Cu-BGNs composite coatings. Yet higher Cu-BGNs content in coatings led to more calcium phosphate formation on the surface after 7 days of immersion in DMEM, which was confirmed by FTIR and XPS. The growth of S. carnosus and E. coli was inhibited by Cu2+ ion released from Cu-BGN coatings. In addition, both direct and indirect cyto-compatibility experiments showed that the viability and proliferation of MG-63 cells on Cu-BGN coatings were highly increased compared to pure magnesium; however, an additional increase of Cu-BGNs concentration showed a slight decrease of cell proliferation and cell activity. In summary, Cu-BGN/PCL composite coatings impart magnesium-based biomaterials antibacterial and anticorrosive properties for clinical applications.
