(author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Nanoparticles (NPs) have high multifunctional potential to simultaneously enhance implant osseointegration and prevent infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Here, we present the first report on using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to incorporate different combinations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver (Ag) NPs on...journal article 2022

van Hengel, I.A.J. (author), Tierolf, M.W.A.M. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Patients receiving orthopedic implants are at risk of implant-associated infections (IAI). A growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten to hamper the treatment of IAI. The focus has, therefore, shifted towards the development of implants with intrinsic antibacterial activity to prevent the occurrence of infection. The use of Ag, Cu...review 2021

(author)Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have provided many opportunities for the rational design of porous metallic biomaterials with complex and precisely controlled topologies that give rise to unprecedented combinations of mechanical, physical, and biological properties. These favorable properties can be enhanced by surface...journal article 2020
