Hydroxyapatite coating deposited on grade 4 Titanium by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation

The present study reports the deposition of coating using Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) onto grade 4 titanium to produce novel surface features. Samples were treated in an electrolytic solution of calcium acetate and sodium glycerolphosphate. The temporal evolution of hydroxyapatite coatings with high Ra roughness and a maximum thickness of 120 μm was obtained. X-ray spectra revealed the presence of hydroxyapatite, rutile and calcium phosphate. Cell growth measurement by MTT assay showed that the coatings were not toxic because cells grew on all samples17614271433CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESPsem informaçã
