Protein-repellent nanocomposite with rechargeable calcium and phosphate for long-term ion release

The objectives of this study were to develop a Ca and P ion-rechargeable and protein-repellent composite for the first time, and investigate the effects of MPC and NACP on mechanical properties, protein-repellency, anti-biofilm effects, and Ca and P ion recharge and re-release.
