Plasma Surface Modification and Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings for the Next Generation of Biodegradable Magnesium Alloy Bone Implants
PROJECT COST:
782 594 $
PRIMA CONTRIBUTION:
313 038 $
PROJECT DETAILS:
The goal of this project is to develop and validate new plasma-based processes for coating magnesium alloy dental implants with multifunctional nanostructured coatings, thereby improving their safety and performance during implantation.
The project will enable Plasmionique Inc. to expand its activities into the biomedical sector, while Biotrics Bioimplants AG will develop the materials, procedures, and technological applications for dental tissue engineering.
The project will train two research associates, one technician, two master’s students, one PhD student, one postdoctoral fellow, and nine undergraduate students. It will strengthen the position of Quebec and Canada in the development of dental implants that promote osseointegration.
