Coatings based on chitosan, gelatin and strontium are proposed.
An organic-inorganic nanocomposite coatings are formed by electrophoretic deposition.
Nanocomposite coatings are deposited in a mild condition.
Strontium carbonate is produced in the coatings.
The strontium-containing coatings are favorable for proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.
