Titanium (Ti) oral implants, as foreign bodies, can easily trigger an inflammatory response, and the metal ions/nanoparticles released by friction/corrosion in the body can also damage soft and hard tissues, leading to implant failure. To make up for deficiencies, a multifunctional composite coating composed of silica (SiO 2) particles and zirconium hydrogen phosphate (ZrP) on the surface of Ti was prepared by combining micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and sol-gel technology. The characterization results of the surface physicochemical properties confirmed that a series of SiO 2 /ZrP-modified MAO coatings were successfully constructed. Compared with the control group, the doping of SiO 2 particles effectively improved the friction resistance of the surface MAO coating, but worsened its corrosion resistance. After the surface was further covered with ZrP coating, the corrosion resistance defect caused by SiO 2 particles was eliminated. With the increase of the ZrP thickness, the friction resistance of the target sample increased gradually. In addition, the specimens coated by ZrP coatings also presented better anti-inflammatory and osteogenic capabilities than the samples subjected to pure/SiO 2 -doped MAO treatment. Based on these advantageous properties, this novel composite coating may project good application prospects in promoting early osseointegration. • Combined application of SiO 2 particle and ZrP coating to modify Ti for the first time. • ZrP coating further enhanced the friction resistance of the SiO 2 -doped MAO coating. • The corrosion defect caused by SiO 2 particles can be eliminate by ZrP coating. • SiO 2 and ZrP synergistically improve the osteoinductive ability of MAO coating. • ZrP coatings significantly reduce the early immune rejection of MAO-treated titanium.
