Ciprofloxacin release and corrosion behaviour of a hybrid PEO/PCL coating on Mg3Zn0.4Ca alloy Moreno, Lara Cheng, Wang Sviatlana, Lamaka Zheludkevich, Mikhail L. Rodríguez Hernández, Juan Arrabal Durán, Raúl Matykina, Endzhe In the present work, a hybrid hierarchical coating (HHC) system comprising a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating and a homogeneously porous structured polycaprolactone (PCL) top-coat layer, loaded with ciprofloxacin (CIP), was developed on Mg3Zn0.4Ca alloy. According to the findings, the HHC system avoided burst release and ensured gradual drug elution (64% over 240 h). The multi-level protection of the magnesium alloy is achieved through sealing of the PEO coating pores by the polymer layer and the inhibiting effect of CIP (up to 74%). The corrosion inhibition effect of HHC and the eluted drug is associated with the formation of insoluble CIP-Me (Mg/Ca) chelates that repair the defects in the HHC and impede the access of corrosive species as corroborated by FTIR spectra, EIS and SEM images after 24 h of immersion. Therefore, CIP participates in an active protection mechanism by interacting with cations coming through the damaged coating 2024-10-21T07:31:50Z 2024-10-21T07:31:50Z 2023 journal article : Moreno, L.; Wang, C.; Lamaka, S.V.; Zheludkevich, M.L.; Rodríguez-Hernández, J.; Arrabal, R.; Matykina, E.
