Sulfurized PEO-derived coating on biodegradable Zn orchestrates immunoregulation and vascularized osteogenesis for orthopedic applications.
Biodegradable Zn has attracted growing attention as a bone implant material because of its appropriate degradation rate and favourable mechanical properties. In this study, we used plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) followed by sulfurization to create a ZnO/ZnS heterostructured coating on Zn (S-PEO-Zn) for orthopedic...
