Preparation of bioactive coatings on the surface of bioinert polymers through an innovative auto-catalytic electroless route

The aim of this research was to develop a new methodology to obtain bioactive coatings on bioinert and biodegradable polymers that are not intrinsically bioactive. In this study, three types of materials were used as substrates: (i) high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) and two different types...
