Thin oxide layers form easily on the surfaces of titanium (Ti) components, with thicknesses of <:100 nm. These layers have excellent corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. Ti is susceptible to bacterial development on its surface when used as an implant material, which reduces the biocompatibility between the implant and the bone tissue, resulting in reduced osseointegration. In the present study, Ti specimens were surface-negatively ionized using a hot alkali activation method, after which polylysine and polydopamine layers were deposited on them using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method, then a quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) (EPTAC, DEQAS, MPA-N+) was grafted onto the surface of the coating. In all, 17 such composite coatings were prepared. Against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteriostatic rates of the coated specimens were 97.6 ±: 2.0% and 98.4 ±: 1.0%, respectively. Thus, this composite coating has the potential to increase the osseointegration and antibacterial performance of implantable Ti devices.
