Abstract
Surgicalimplants, usually made from metals, plastics, ceramics, or other materials, often elicit inflammatory reactions. This unwanted infection is a major challenge in the biomedical sector. Due to the versatility offered, coatings employing polymers are preferred to add desired functionalities onto the implant surfaces. Polymer coatings can modify biological properties like biocompatibility, drug release, antibacterial activities, and so on. This chapter details the recent progress in polymer coatings, nanoparticle-incorporated coatings, coating strategies, and their biological performance.
