The layer assessments under conditions that simulate their biological interaction with the human body fluids and resistance to degradation have been studied by electrochemical polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The poly(methyl methacrylate) addition to bioglass has reduced the bone ability to bond but resulted in a significant increase of the shielding efficiency against corrosion of the applied coatings.
The obtained results support the application of bioactive glass and composite bioactive glass + poly(methyl methacrylate) coatings for the development of advanced highly stable implants and prostheses that cannot be affected by corrosion.
