Conducting photopolymers on orthopeadic implants having a switch of priority between promoting osteogenic and antibacterial activity

Abstract

For the long-term success of an implantation, an intelligent medium based on conducting photopolymers was decorated on implant surfaces, and a priority between promoting osteogenic and antibacterial activity could be dynamically switched through applying a specific electrical stimulus as needed at different clinical stages of implantation.
