摘要

In this study, we developed a dual-stimuli-responsive drug delivery system based on TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TNTs) modified with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS) for improved antibacterial efficacy and osseointegration. Vancomycin and CuS were co-loaded into the TNTs via a one-pot synthesis approach, and ZIF-8 served as both a high-capacity drug reservoir and a pH-responsive gatekeeper. The system exhibited rapid and controlled drug release under near-infrared (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation and acidic conditions, mimicking post-surgical infection sites. The CuS nanoparticles enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, thereby promoting ZIF-8 decomposition and accelerating drug release. In vitro tests demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, strong anti-inflammatory effects, and excellent cytocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells. This multifunctional implant surface provides an effective strategy for infection control and bone regeneration in orthopedic applications.
