Enhancing Ossiointegration And Corrosion Properties of Ti6Al4V Alloy By Coating With Chitosan – Collagen- Hydroxyapatite For Biomedical Applications

Abstract

In this research, Ti-6Al-4V alloy samples were coated with 4 gm strontium hydroxyapatite with 2 gm from chitosan and (2,4,6) gm from collagen and the samples heat treated at 150 ºC in muffle furnace for one hour under air atmosphere. The sample were tested by XRD,FTIR,SEM and corrosion test was also achieved. The samples were immersed in a laboratory prepared simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for two weeks, the samples treated at 150 ºC in muffle furnace for one hour under air atmosphere to get more bonding for new layer . The samples tested by XRD,FTIR,SEM and corrosion test was also achieved after immersing . The sample coated with 6 gm collagen showed maximum growth of hydroxyapatite formed from simulated body fluid SBF and corrosion characteristics was much improved.
