ZnO, ZnO/Alginate coatings were obtained on the pre-anodized Ti6Al4V substrates by the thermal substrate deposition method (TSD). In the frame of this work, the TSD method was at first applied for obtaining ZnO coating from aqueous alginate-containing and alginate-free solutions on a metal surface. XRD, SEM analyses show that the biopolymer has a significant influence on the formation of the coating, their morphology, texture, structure of ZnO nanoparticles. The average rate of ZnO deposition from alginate containing solution is 30 μm/min, while from alginate-free solutions – 6 μm/min. In the presence of alginate, spherical particles with flower-shaped inclusions are formed, while from the polymer-free solution, single crystals in the form of tetrahedral were obtained. Zone of inhibition test against Gram-positive S. aureus ATCC 25923 and Gram-negative E. coli ATCC 25922 proves the antibacterial activity of the ZnO/Alg coatings.
