Abstract: | The concept of biological fixation of artificial joint prosthesis by using bioactive calcium phosphate coatings has generated considerable interest in recent years. This paper reports an electrocrystallization process for fabricating stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with nanometer size crystals similar to biogenic apatite. X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and chemical composition of the HA coatings.As-deposited coatings at 65°C were poorly crystalline, Ca-deficient HA with a crystallite size of about 35 nm and exhibited apatitic characteristics similar to bone apatite. Post-treatment of coatings in steam at 125°C followed by calcining at 425°C resulted in the transformation of the initial phase to a well-defined stoichiometric HA with a crystallite size of about 100 nm. |
