Highly cited paper in Surf. Coat. Technol.
Our paper “Electrophoretic deposition of chitosan/45S5 Bioglass® composite coatings for orthopaedic applications“, published in Surf. Coat. Technol. [1], co-authors: F. Pishbin, A. Simchi, M. P. Ryan, is listed as one of the highest cited articles in the journal (papers published since 2011). The paper is based on the research project of Dr. F. Pishbin during her PhD studies under supervision of Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini and Prof. Mary P. Ryan at the Department of Materials, Imperial College London (UK), and it was the first study to investigate in detail the electrophoretic deposition of the chitosan-bioactive glass system, a combination which has become a popular choice for bioactive coatings since then.
