Characterization and in vitro biocompatibility study of Ti-Si-N nanocomposite coatings developed by using physical vapor deposition

- Ti-Si-N nanocomposite coating on Ti6Al4V was fabricated by using magnetron sputtering.
- Effect of microstuctural characteristics of the coatings on biocompatibility was investigated.
- Antibacterial activity of the coatings was elucidated.
- Analysis of gene expressions of some osteogenic markers of the cells grown.
