A method, comprising:
- contacting a support material with a bioactive polymer under a first set of electrophoresis conditions that include applying an electric current of less than 5 mA/cm2, thereby depositing the bioactive polymer onto the support material;
- contacting the support material with bioceramic particles under a second set of electrophoresis conditions, thereby depositing the bioceramic particles onto the support material;
- and
- alternating the depositing of the bioactive polymer and the bioceramic particles onto the support material in a predetermined number of cycles, thereby preparing a coated support material.
A coated solid material, comprising a support material that includes an exterior surface and a coating adhered to the exterior surface that includes a bioactive polymer and a bioceramic particles, wherein the coated solid material is prepared by a method comprising:
- contacting the support material with the bioactive polymer under a first set of electrophoresis conditions that include applying an electric current of less than 5 mA/cm2, thereby depositing the bioactive polymer onto the support material;
- contacting the support material with the glass-ceramic particles under a second set of electrophoresis conditions, thereby depositing the bioceramic particles onto the support material;
- and
- alternating the depositing of the bioactive polymer and the bioceramic particles onto the support material in a predetermined number of cycles, thereby preparing a coated support material.
A coated material, comprising:
- a support material having an exterior surface, a coating adhered to the exterior surface, and cells in association with the coated material, wherein:
- the coating comprises a polysaccharide that includes glucose, and the coating comprises bioceramic particles that include apatite and wollastonite.
