| Abstract | When reactive coatings are applied to medical implants by means of the sol–gel dip-coating technique, the biological properties of the implant surface can be modified to simulate the properties of the surrounding tissues in such a way to provide a firm fixation of the implant. The aim of this study has been to modify the surface of titanium grade 4 (a material generally used in dental application) by dip coating with sol–gel synthesized organic/inorganic hybrid materials in order to improve their osseointegration ability. Different hybrids have been obtained, consisting of an inorganic 0.7SiO$_{2}$·0.3CaO-based matrix in which a biodegradable polymer, poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), has been incorporated in different percentages. These materials, still in the sol phase, have been used to coat the titanium substrates by means of the dip-coating technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy allowed the characterization of the materials and their classification as Class I hybrids, whereas a microstructural analysis of the obtained coatings, performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), detected that the PCL content affects film morphology. The potential applications of these coatings in the biomedical field have been evaluated by bioactivity and biocompatibility tests. SEM–EDS analysis of the coated titanium surfaces showed that the hydroxylapatite deposition occurs after 21 days of immersion in a simulated body fluid, an index of in vivo bone-bonding capability. Moreover, a WST-8 assay has shown that the vitality of fibroblast cells (3T3) seeded on the titanium specimens is higher when the coatings are applied and that the biocompatibility depends on PCL amount. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
