A variety of coating techniques are available for medical devices to be tailored with surface
properties aimed at optimizing their performance in biological environments. Cold spray, as …

Monoclinic tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP, Ca4 (PO4) 2O), also known by the mineral name
hilgenstockite, is formed in the (CaO–P2O5) system at temperatures> 1300° C. TTCP is the …

This paper reports preparation of a highly crystalline nano hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on
commercially pure titanium (Cp-Ti) using inductively coupled radio frequency (RF) plasma …

Surfaces are the primary place of contact between a biomaterial and its host organism.
Typically, prostheses have to fulfil demanding structural and mechanical requirements, yet …

The combined requirements imposed by the enormous scale and overall complexity of
designing new implants or complete organ regeneration are well beyond the reach of …

Fused silica powder has been mixed with hydroxyapatite (HA) powder and plasma sprayed
by using gas tunnel-type plasma jet. The influence of silica content (10 wt% and 20 wt%) on …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (Ca10 (PO4) 6 (OH) 2) coatings are often made in a two-step
process, where hydroxyapatite is firstly synthesized, and then applied as a coating for …

Novel bioactive calcium titanate–tricalcium phosphate–tetracalcium phosphate composite
coatings were developed. Powder mixtures of hydroxyapatite and 25, 50 and 75 vol% of …

This paper reports a detailed study of how repeated rf magnetron sputtering from a
hydroxyapatite (HA) powder target affects the nature and reproducibility of a sequential …

20wt.% hydroxyapatite/Ti composite coatings were fabricated via an in-house developed
argon atmospheric plasma spraying (AAPS) system on Ti substrates. The phase and …
