The implant infection is one of the most serious postsurgical complications of medical device implantation. Therefore, the development of biocompatible materials with improved antibacterial properties is of great importance. It might be a new insight to apply the intrinsic electrical properties of biomaterials to solve this problem. Here, potassium-sodium niobate piezoceramics (K0.5Na0.5NbO3, KNN) with different piezoelectric constants were prepared, and the microstructures and piezoelectric properties of these piezoceramics were evaluated. Moreover, the antibacterial effect and biocompatibility of these piezoceramics were assayed. Results showed that these piezoceramics were able to decrease the colonies of bacteria staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), favor the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) proliferation and promote the cell adhesion and spreading. The above effects were found closely related to the surface positive charges of the piezoceramics, and the sample bearing the most positive charges on its surface (sample 80KNN) had the best performance in both antibacterial effect and biocompatibility. Based on our work, it is feasible to develop biocompatible antibacterial materials by controlling piezoelectric properties.
