Formation of hydroxyapatite within porous TiO2 layer by micro-arc oxidation coupled with electrophoretic deposition

Microstructure and characterization of a novel cobalt coating prepared by cathode plasma electrolytic deposition

“…There are two kinds of electrode processes in plasma electrolysis: an anodic process such as the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), and a cathodic process such as the plasma electrolytic saturation (PES) [3]. Most studies are concentrated on the anodic process of plasma electrolysis in the past decades, such as the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) [4][5][6][7][8][9], and very few are on the cathodic process. However, in recent years, more and more researchers are paying attention to the study on the cathodic process of plasma electrolysis, for example, the plasma electrolytic nitriding/carburizing/boriding [10][11][12][13][14], surface cleaning [15][16][17] and coating [3], and they have made great progress.…”

Synthesis and properties of hydroxyapatite-containing porous titania coating on ultrafine-grained titanium by micro-arc oxidation

“…A number of effective solving routines have been developed, such as hydrothermal treatment or heat treatment of the coatings to form hydroxyapatite (HA) layers on the titania [32][33][34].…”

Electrophoretic deposition of biomaterials

“…As the CaCO 3 /Fe 3 O 4 coatings are converted to HA/Fe 3 O 4 coatings, macropores with a pore size of approximately 4 mm in the coating structure and mesopores with a pore size of approximately 3.9 nm within the HCA plates were formed. Recently, the formation of HA within the porous TiO 2 layer by micro-arc oxidation coupled with EPD has been shown by Kim et al (2009). Addition of ethanol to the electrolyte solution containing fine HA particles was essential to reduce the level of gaseous emission on the anode, which obstructs the attachment of HA particles.…”
