Facile fabrication of biodegradable endothelium-mimicking coatings on bioabsorbable zinc-alloy stents by one-step electrophoretic deposition

A phenolic-copper-amine crosslinked hybrid coating with a surface-eroding degradation behavior was prepared on Zn-alloy stents by EPD to mimic the endothelial function by catalytic NO-generation and provides long-term corrosion resistance.
