Medical implants are manufactured using various materials including metals such as aluminum, ceramic, or stainless steel. Different materials can react with the human tissues and body fluids upon contact, even biocompatible ones leading to implant rejections. Coatings for implants help to overcome these challenges and also enhance the performance and durability of the implants. The Advanced Coating & Surface Technology TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on technologies, products, processes, applications and strategic insights on various coatings across industries. This encompasses protective and functional coatings such as antimicrobial coatings, food coatings, energy-saving coatings, sma
