Electricity

Ti-MWNT-PPy[P/S]-PPy[Dex] [33]

Cyclic voltammetry (CV)

100 mV/s, from − 1 to 1 V for up to 25 cycles

1. Anodized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on Ti surface

2. Polypyrrole (PPy) is negatively loaded into MWNT

3. Penicillin + streptomycin and DEX were electrodeposited on PPy

PPy[P/S] and PPy[Dex] are electrically stimulated

1. Realize the controlled release system of electrically triggered drugs

2. Anti-bacterial infection

3. Promote bone growth and reduce fibroblast function

Electricity

Ti-Chi-Van [34]

Voltages vary between 2–3.5 V

Chi-Van Co-deposited on the surface of titanium plate

Under the stimulation of anodic oxidation, the OH− consumed, pH on titanium surface decreased, and the chitosan gel expanded and decomposed

Anti-bacterial infection

S. aureus

E. coli

Electricity

TNT-Ti [35]

10 V was applied for 1 min (3 cycles, separated by 10 min). 1–15/min

1. TNT was prepared by anodic oxidation

2. Ti was prepared by magnesiothermic reduction

3. Load model drug, RhB

Ti NTs (cathode), bare Ti wire (anode)were connected to power supply

Realize the controlled release system of electrically triggered drugs

USW

TNT-TPGS-IND [13]

Requency fixed at 30 kHz; a constant power of 100 W; 1–15 pulses/min; 5 min

1. TNT was prepared by anodic oxidation

2. TPGS polymerized micelles loaded with Ind were loaded into TNTS

USW can destroy TPGS micelles

Controlled release of drugs triggered by USW is realized, and drugs in micelles are not affected by USW, and there is no premature release

USW

Liposome-rhBMP-2 nanocomplexes [98]

16 MHz, 5 min

Preparation of rhBMP-2 loaded liposomes

USW triggered rh-BMP-2 release from liposomes

Validated lipid nanoparticles can be USW-triggered delivery of rhBMP-2
