Representative examples of surface modification strategies [107, 153]. (A: Machined surface of Ti implant. B: Sand-blasted and then acid-etched implant. C: Plasma-spraying, to form an oxide film on the Ti surface and allows ceramic coating formation. D: IBAD, able to prepare bio-coatings with considerably higher adhesion strength. E: Dipping, sol–gel and biomimetic coating, known as simple operation and cost-effective methods. F: EPD, utilizing two electrodes to induce the migration of particles in solution towards the surface to be coated. Reproduced with permission from Ref. [107] Copyright 2020 John Wiley and Son.
