In current clinical practices related to orthopedics, dental, and cardiovascular surgeries, a number of biomaterial coatings, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp), diamond-like carbon (DLC), have been used in combination with metallic substrates (stainless steel, Ti6Al4V alloy, etc.). Although SiBCN coatings are widely explored in material science for diverse applications, their potential remains largely unexplored for biomedical applications. With this motivation, the present work reports the development of SiB x C y N z O m coatings on a Ti6Al4V substrate, employing a reactive radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique...
