Abstract

UV crosslinking of CH is easy to apply and has potential for future metallic implant surface modifications. Due to its nature as a hydrogel, the coating could be used for further studies in the encapsulation of bioactive molecules to improve osteogenic potential at the tissue-implant interface.
