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 coating. 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. A method for forming a coating comprising steps of: providing a substrate; and electrophoretically forming the coating on at least a portion of the substrate using a dispersion; wherein the dispersion comprises ceria nanoparticles with cerium predominantly in a Ce 3+ oxidation state on the surface thereof (NC1) or the ceria nanoparticles with cerium predominantly in a higher Ce 4+ oxidation state on the surface thereof (NC2), or a mixture of NC1 and NC2; wherein NC1 and NC2 comprise the ceria nanoparticles having a size in a range of 3-5 nm; and wherein the coating exhibits catalase mimetic activity, superoxide dismutase mimetic activity, or both. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electrophoretic forming step is carried out by applying a voltage having a DC component and/or an AC component to the substrate and at least one counter-electrode, wherein the voltage is continuous, pulsed, or arbitrarily increasing or decreasing with time. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one counter-electrode comprises two counter-electrodes. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising after the coating has been formed, heating the substrate to 200-450° C. for 1-2.5 hr. 5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein one electrode is a Ti electrode and two electrodes are nonconsumable counter-electrodes. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a prosthesis.
