Commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys have been among the most commonly used
materials for biomedical applications since the 1950s. Due to the excellent mechanical …

Hydroxyapatite has become an important coating material for bioimplants, following the
introduction of synthetic HAp in the 1950s. The HAp coatings require controlled surface …

A superhydrophobic anticorrosive CaCO 3 coating was prepared on Mg-Nd alloy by
ultrasound-assisted chemical conversion. Results show that the prepared coating consists of …

Poor osseointegration and postoperative bacterial infections are the main causes of clinical
failure of titanium (Ti) based implants. In this study, calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr), which …

Variety of ion-doped apatite coatings, especially strontium substituted hydroxyapatite
(SrHA), have attracted eventful attention for medical metal surface modifications due to their …

Till date, a variety of efforts have been made to develop the essential properties of
hydroxyapatite as the most promising bioactive ceramic used in a broad spectrum of clinical …

NiTi is a class of metallic biomaterials, benefit from superelastic behavior, high
biocompatibility, and favorable mechanical properties close to that of bone. However, the Ni …

This review deals with the design of bioactive calcium phosphate coatings deposited on
metallic substrates to produce bone implants. The bioceramic coating properties are used to …

Bio-ceramic hydroxyapatite (HA) coating has been commonly used to repair the bones or as
the functionalized surface of bone substitutes due to its excellent biocompatibility, superior …

In spite of the superior corrosion resistance, titanium is prone to biofouling, especially in
marine environment. Here we report a new approach to create robust superhydrophobic …
