This study investigated the possibility of obtaining polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings on Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy substrates using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and heat treatment. Different polyelectrolytes involving chitosan (CS), sodium alginate (SA), and PAZO were used, which enabled t...
