Sputtered Hydroxyapatite Nanocoatings on Novel Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Influence of Physicochemical Aspects of Substratum Nanosurface on Bacterial Attachment for Bone Implant Applications

“…This is attributed to their light weight, corrosive resistance, and bioinert nature. However, they usually lack sufficient osseointegration for implant longevity [10,11]. The implant material surface after implantation will directly contact with the host bone tissue.…”

“…The hydroxyapatite (HA) layer was able to promote the biointegration process due to its ability to adsorb molecules of water and proteins, thus stimulating new bone tissue growth around the implant. In particular, nanocrystalline HA is more pertinent than microcrystalline HA because of its structural similarity with apatite [11,12].…”

Physicochemical Analysis of the Polydimethylsiloxane Interlayer Influence on a Hydroxyapatite Doped with Silver Coating

“…In order to improve the delamination of HAp coatings different types of interlayers between the substrate and the HAp coating have been used as reinforcement agents. For example, SiO 2 layers are known for their own excellent compatibility with the living tissues and their high chemical inertness [17].…”

Microstructural Analysis and Mechanical Evaluation of Ti‐45Nb Produced by Selective Laser Melting towards Biomedical Applications

“…The relatively large powder fraction and the layer thickness within the described parameters have contributed to presence of the resultant porosity. This porosity (occasionally appearing on the surface) can be beneficial to enable a better cell response [11,12] for the future activities.…”
