Phased Ions‐Release Bilayer‐Guided Bone Regeneration Membrane with Nanostructure‐Mediated Antibacterial Adhesion by Liguo Zhang, Zhao Li, Yajing Fu, Haoyang Tian, Ting Wang, Hongrui Liu, Jianhua Li, Hong Liu, Shaohua Ge, Baojin Ma

“…Furthermore, the nanoengineered HAp layer deters pathogenic colonization due to the low adhesion force, which can effectively prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms and infection after implantation. Overall, the multifunctional bilayer CSHP membrane, based on the phased and oriented ions release, adapts to the dynamic requirements of bone repair, thereby augmenting regeneration efficiency, and also providing a reference for the design of advanced repair materials.…”
