Abstract
Treatment implant-associated infections remains a severe challenge in the clinical practice. This work focuses on the fabrication of Cu-containing porous TiO2 coatings on titanium (Ti) by a combination of magnetron sputtering and dealloying techniques. Additionally, photothermal therapy is employed to enhance the effect of Cu ions in preventing bacterial infection. After the dealloying, most of Cu element was removed from the magnetron sputtered Cu-containing films, and porous TiO2 coatings were prepared on Ti. The formation of porous nanostructures significantly enhanced the photothermal conversion performance under NIR-II light irradiation. The combined effect of hyperthermia and Cu ions demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, and the antibacterial efficiency can reach 99% against Streptococcus mutans. Moreover, the porous TiO2 coatings also exhibited excellent biocompatibility. This modification of the titanium surface structure through dealloying changes may offer a novel approach to enhance the antimicrobial properties of titanium implants.
