Abstract

I'm delving into the world of EPD to enhance the functionality of metallic implants. By depositing nanomaterials and biomaterials onto SLM additively manufactured implants, we're pioneering techniques that improve biocompatibility, bioactivity, and overall performance. My research explores the application of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to create a protective coating on 316L stainless steel for biomedical purposes. The coating is a composite of organic-inorganic materials, designed to enhance the corrosion resistance of the stainless-steel structures. The study delves into the electrochemical behavior of the bioactive glass coating through thorough investigation using electrophoretic deposition techniques. The primary objective is to prevent corrosion of 316L stainless steel, a material commonly used in biomedical implants. The composite aims to act as a protective barrier against corrosive environments within the human body. Moreover, I investigate the electrochemical behavior of the bioactive glass coating on metallic structures additively manufactured by SLM. This involves analyzing factors such as corrosion resistance, adhesion, and stability of the coating under physiological conditions.
