Thermal, Biological, and Bioactive Characterization of Sol–Gel Coating Materials for Biomedical Stainless Steel
The development of bioactive hybrid coatings for biomedical implants requires materials exhibiting suitable thermal stability, bioactivity, and biocompatibility. In this study, hybrid organic–inorganic sol–gel coatings based on silica (SiO2) and polyethylene glycol (PEG, 24 wt%) were functionalized with different conce...
