Abstract
Implants with bioactive coatings are becoming increasingly popular in bioengineering. The incorporation of silver nanoparticles into the oxide layer supports the antibacterial effect. This article describes the surface modification of Ti[sbnd]15Mo alloy subjected to the plasma electrochemical oxidation (PEO) process in baths containing Ag compounds: Ag2O, Ag3PO4, and Ag3PO4+ Ca(PO4)2 to incorporate antibacterial silver particles into the oxide layer on the surface of the tested alloy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed changes in the surface porosity of the obtained oxide layers. Energy dispersive analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray electron spectroscopy determined the chemical composition and distribution of elements on the sample's surface. The tests showed the presence of embedded silver particles and uniform distribution on the surface. The bioactivity of the obtained layer was tested by adhesion tests of bacteria and fungi: Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Candida albicans (ATCC 2091).
