A promising strategy for fighting the bacterial biofilm on the surface of biomaterials involves modification of their surface with the use of bactericidal and bacteriostatic coatings. Ongoing studies concentrate on the development of material that can limit bacterial colonisation and is safe for the human organism. Therefore, the current research focuses on the conditions related to implant coating to limit biofilm formation. However, previous outcomes in this area have not been satisfactory. Accordingly, the main goal of the carried out tests was to study the impact of the physicochemical properties of the surface layers on the course of processes taking place on the surface of implants made of metallic biomaterials used in the bone system. The surface of the analysed biomaterial -316LVM steel - was modified using such processes as grinding, electrochemical polishing, sandblasting, application of a ZnO layer using low-temperature Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), and medical sterilisation. Initial assessments involved the chemical composition, phase composition, and the microstructure of the surface layer. The last stage involved microbiological studies, including an assessment of the adhesion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to the modified surface, proliferation of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells and cytotoxicity tests. The analysis of adhesion of S. aureus and E. coli colonies confirmed that the ZnO coating is effective in reducing bacterial adhesion to the 316LVM steel substrate, regardless of the number of cycles, process temperature and surface treatment method.

As it is widely stated in the literature, biofilms are responsible for most chronic infections, which have grown exponentially over the past three decades. The use of so-called alloys, as a new generation of materials, enables us to find the golden mean in the arena widely known as implantology. The use of the surface layer, using the chosen Atomic Layer Deposition method, is to be the basis for minimizing the risk of an organism reactions. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to observe the impact of physicochemical properties of the surface layers (bactericidal) on the processes that occur on the implants surface made of titanium biomaterials used in bone structures. The study also attempted to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the ZnO coatings, deposited on the substrate of one of the new generation Ti13Nb13Zr alloys, using the ALD method. Included in the assessment of the physicochemical properties of the surface layers formed in this manner, we perform pitting corrosion resistance tests, scratch tests, tribological tests and surface wettability tests. Based on the obtained data, the differing physicochemical properties of the alloy with ZnO coatings are found to be dependent on the applied surface modification. For the conducted tests, differences are determined for the tests on the corrosion resistance, surface wettability and the abrasion resistance for samples with and without the ZnO coating. In addition, tests show that the coating applied to the alloy, which is previously subjected to the sand-blasted process, is characterized by improved adhesion.
