SiO2, TiO2 and SiO2/TiO2 coating were produced by hydrolysis of (BuO)4Ti, (i-PrO)4Ti, i-Bu(EtO)3Si, (EtO)4Si and (MeO)4Si precursors and deposited on steel surface by dip-coating. The coatings showed structural homogeneity, high adhesion to the substrate and stimulating effect on the cells. The TiO2 coating was distinguished by the highest proliferation activity.
