Abstract Biocomposite layers of silica and various bone-relevant proteins such as collagen, gelatine and commercial collagen hydrolysate can be obtained from coatings of silica sols mixed with proteins in water/dioxane. Investigations into the mechanical and cell proliferation properties for different sol parameters (pH, solvent), type and concentration of proteins, annealing and crosslinking of the biocomposite layers revealed that such coatings are highly biocompatible with excellent mechanical properties.
