However, the development of an optimal bioactive implant for tissue regeneration has not been achieved. The research for novel materials is hindered by the biocompatibility and bioactivity of the compound as well as their mechanical properties. To improve the bioactivity of the implants, the increase of surface area of the implant as well as the use of resorbable compounds is being studied with promising results. Among all different materials and composite employed, the common materials include calcium phosphates and resorbable bioglasses inspired in natural scaffold composition of bones and teeth. In some cases, this material is being used as a coating and combined with further treatments and functional coatings which may reinforce its bioresponsive properties, and in some cases, it can provide additional properties such as antimicrobial activity. In addition, a specific class of bioactive coatings based on biodegradable polymers has also been developed. These coatings temporally aim at accelerating wound healing and forming new tissue at the material-tissue interface around implanted devices or protecting those implants against biomaterial-associated infections. Bioactive, degradable coatings can be generated both from natural and synthetic polymers. Common strategies, reviewed here, are based on natural polymers like proteins, polysaccharides, or glycosaminoglycanes to improve their bioactivity either by chemical functionalization of the biopolymer itself (e.g. introduction of bioactive groups) or by immobilization of bioactive components (e.g. cell adhesion peptides). Degradable or at least water-soluble synthetic polymers as polylactones or polyethylene glycols have been used for long time to create carrier materials for bioactive agents. As exemplary illustrated, those polymers are also used creating either substrate-adhering nanofilms or hydrogel-based thick coatings with high bioactivity to stimulate cell adhesion or avoid microbial adhesion. This chapter aims to summarize all recent approaches in the development of various bioactive coating materials, as well as the coating techniques and further treatment, functionalization and surface modification. date: 2017-10-21 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-68025-5_13 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1545555 doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-68025-5_13 isbn_13: 9783319680248 lyricists_name: Choy, Kwang lyricists_id: KLCHO01 actors_name: Choy, Kwang actors_name: Barczynska, Patrycja actors_id: KLCHO01 actors_id: PBARC91 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public pagerange: 361-406 book_title: Biomaterials in Clinical Practice: Advances in Clinical Research and Medical Devices citation: Choy, KL; Schnabelrauch, M; Wyrwa, R; (2017) Bioactive coatings.
