N2 - Statement of Purpose: Zinc (Zn) has been cited as the “calcium of the twenty-first century”, and recently emerged as a novel biodegradable metal thanks to its important physiological roles and promising degradation behavior. However, cytocompatibility and antibacterial property of pure Zn is still suboptimal, in part, due to the excessive Zn ions released during degradation. Inspired by the calcium phosphate-based minerals in natural bone tissue, zinc phosphate (ZnP) coatings were prepared on pure Zn to enhance its biocompatibility and antibacterial property. These ZnP coated materials can be further developed as bone implants for orthopaedic and other applications.
