Corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy coated with caprolactone-based biodegradable polymeric coatings

The use of polymeric biomaterials, which are the subject of continuous, intensive research, is still widening. This is because of their good functionality and biocompatibility in the tissue environment. In particular, the large interest of researchers is focused on a group of synthetic bioresorbable polymers such as polylactide (PLA), poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), polyglycolide (PGA), etc. [6, 9, 10, 17]. The wide range of applications of bioresorbable polymers in medicine is primarily concerned with the possibility of shaping their mechanical and physicochemical properties. Controlled degradation of polymers allows them to be used as carriers of drug substances to provide drug dosing with the desired kinetics until the desired therapeutic effect is Wojciech KAjzer joanna jAWorsKA Katarzyna jeloneK janusz szeWczenKo Anita KAjzer Katarzyna noWińsKA Anna Hercog Marcin KAczMAreK janusz KAsperczyK
