Antibacterial coatings are prepared by self‐assembly of gentamicin polyacrylic acid complexes in layer‐by‐layer films. The coatings release gentamicin over several weeks, preventing the growth of S. aureus strains, and have potential applications for surface modification of titania implants to prevent nosocomial infections, which are a major concern of implant surgery.
