Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An implant is provided comprising a substrate having one or more nanoceria coatings coated at least partially thereon, wherein the one or more nanoceria coatings comprise surface cerium having a 3+/4+ oxidation state ratio such that the one or more nanoceria coatings exhibit catalase mimetic activity, superoxide dismutase mimetic activity, or both. Methods are provided for forming a nanoceria coaling. The coating has nanoceria having a surface cerium 3+/4+ oxidation state ratio such that such that the coating exhibits catalase mimetic activity, superoxide dismutase mimetic activity, or both. Also disclosed is a method of reducing degradation of an implant by placing nanoceria in proximity to a bone-implant interface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An implant comprising a metal substrate having one or more nanoceria coatings coated at least partially thereon, wherein the one or more nanoceria coatings comprise a surface cerium having a 3+/4+ oxidation state ratio such that the one or more nanoceria coatings exhibit catalase mimetic activity, superoxide dismutase mimetic activity, or both, and wherein the metal substrate comprises titanium and wherein the one or more coatings are deposed on the implant at a surface roughness of 30 nm to 40 nm Ra. 2. The implant of claim 1 wherein the surface cerium 3+/4+ oxidation state ratio is such that osteolysis at the surface is reduced. 3. The implant of claim 1 , wherein the one or more nanoceria coatings have a root mean square surface roughness (Rq) between 40 nm to 85 nm. 4. The implant of claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate layer between the substrate and the nanoceria coating. 5. The implant of claim 1 , wherein the nanoceria coating has a thickness of at least 200 nm. 6. The implant of claim 1 , wherein the nanoceria coating has a thickness between 200 nm and 500 nm.
