| Abstract |
Additive manufacturing using selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) is used to create of bespoke items across many diverse fields such as medicine, defence and aerospace. Despite great progress in orthopaedic implant applications, such as for 'just in time' implants, significant challenges remain with regards to material osseointegration and the susceptibility to bacterial colonization on the implant. Here, we show that polycrystalline diamond coatings on these titanium samples can enhance biological scaffold interaction improving medical implant applicability. The highly conformable coating exhibited excellent bonding to the substrate. Relative to uncoated SLM-Ti, the diamond coated samples showed enhanced mammalian cell growth, enriched apatite deposition and reduced microbial S. aureus activity. These results open new opportunities for novel coatings on SLM-Ti devices in general, and especially show promise for improved biomedical implants. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 78. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2023.
All research outputs
#517,273
of 24,535,155 outputs
Outputs from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#287
of 19,218 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,345
of 335,344 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#10
of 455 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,535,155 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 19,218 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,344 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 455 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
