| Abstrakti: | A natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES)-based electropolymerization strategy was developed to deposit polypyrrole (PPy) and Naproxen-doped PPy films onto a biomedical Ti–20Zr–5Ta–2Ag high-entropy alloy. Using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry, coatings were grown potentiostatically (1.2–1.6 V) or galvanostatically (0.5–1 mA) to fixed charge values (1.6–2.2 C). Surface morphology and composition were assessed by optical microscopy, SEM and FTIR, while wettability was quantified via static contact-angle measurements in simulated body fluid (SBF). Electrochemical performance in SBF was evaluated through open-circuit potential monitoring, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Drug-release kinetics were determined by UV–Vis spectrophotometry and analyzed using mathematical modelling. Compared to uncoated alloy, PPy and PPy–Naproxen coatings increased hydrophilicity (contact angles reduced from ~31° to <10°), and reduced corrosion current densities from 754 µA/cm2 to below 5.5 µA/cm2, with polarization resistances rising from 0.06 to up to 37.8 kΩ·cm2. Naproxen incorporation further enhanced barrier integrity (Rcoat up to 1.4 × 1011 Ω·cm2) and enabled sustained drug release (>90% over 8 days), with diffusion exponents indicating Fickian (n ≈ 0.51) and anomalous (n ≈ 0.67) transport for potentiostatic and galvanostatic coatings, respectively. These multifunctional PPy–Naproxen films combine robust corrosion protection with controlled therapeutic delivery, supporting their potential biomimetic role as smart coatings for next-generation implantable devices. |
