...Manjeet Kumar; Rajesh Kumar; Sandeep Kumar There is heavy demand for suitable implant materials with improved mechanical and biological properties. Classically, the demand was catered by conventional materials such as metals, alloys and polymer-based materials. Recently, nanomaterial-reinforced...

... new materials for coating on a commercially available alloy that act as bio-functional as well as a better protective coating for medical implants. The authors have chosen the stainless steel 316L for deposition of silica doped thin films prepared by sol-gel method. Two different silica precursors...
