| dc.description.abstract | Effective osseointegration and infection prevention remain critical challenges for metallic implants. In this study, we developed a facile and dual-functional coating strategy by electrospun poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) fibers incorporated with nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) particles onto pretreated titanium (Ti) surfaces. The HA particles were synthesized via biomimetic precipitation from concentrated simulated body fluid (10 x SBF) under three different conditions: (i) at room temperature (R-HA), (ii) using microwave energy (M-HA), and (iii) in the presence of boric acid (B-HA). Crosslinking with pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) under UV irradiation ensured stable fiber coatings. In vitro analyses using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and Staphylococcus epidermidis (both biofilm-forming and non-forming strains) strains revealed that while pristine PEO reduced cell attachment, HA incorporation restored proliferation and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, with B-HA showing the highest osteogenic marker expression. Meanwhile, R-HA/PEO coatings exhibited the strongest anti-adhesive effect against bacterial colonization. These results demonstrate that the combination of electrospun PEO fibers with HA-particularly boron-substituted HA-provides a synergistic approach to simultaneously promote bone integration and inhibit bacterial adhesion. This work lays the groundwork for developing smart, long-term implant coatings and highlights the potential for future in vivo studies to validate extended clinical efficacy. | |
