What is it about?
Stainless steel 316L is one of the metal biomaterials used in implant applications due it its so strong. For improved biocompatibility and mental activity, metal surfaces must be coated. Consequently, this study tries to increase the osseointegration of the alloy while retaining its good mechanical characteristics. Firstly, by dipping the substrate material, stainless steel 316L, into the acidic electroless bath solution, silver nanopowder coating is produced. The stainless steel sample was prepared with a catalyst solution.

Why is it important?
The implantation of new bone is being studied and used in biomedical fields to improve the quality of life for patients. With time, the bone loses its physical properties, necessitating revision operations as demand increases. Biomedical implants meet the necessities of the body. Metal-based biomaterials possess characteristics that are equivalent to those of human bones. Common similarities include corrosion resistance, biocompatibility inside the human body, preservation of mechanical properties, and nontoxicity. Stainless steel (316 L) has received considerable interest in both implanted and non-implantable medical devices due to their biocompatibility. However, bacterial adhesion to its surface and corrosion when in contact with bodily fluids compromise the suitability of stainless steel 316L as a bioimplant.
Perspectives
It was a great pleasure to write this article, as I co-authored it with authors I have collaborated with for a long time during my studies. This article also contributed to communicating information and broader paths of development, which ultimately contributed to strengthening my involvement in nanocoatings research.
