Deposition of Fluoresceine-Doped HAp Coatings via High-Velocity Suspension Flame Spraying

Processing and Characterisation of High-velocity Suspension Flame Sprayed (hvsfs) Bioactive Glass Coatings

The High-Velocity Suspension Flame Spraying (HVSFS) technique was employed in order to deposit bioactive glass coatings onto titanium substrates. Two different glass compositions were examined: the classical 45S5 Bioglass and a newly-developed SiO2–CaO–K2O–P2O5 glass, labelled as “Bio-K”. Suitable raw materials were melted in a furnace and fritted by casting into water. The frit was dry-milled ...

High Yield Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and Palladium Doped HAP via a Wet Chemical Synthetic Route

A novel procedure for the synthesis of both hydroxyapatite (HAP) and palladium doped HAP via a wet chemical precipitation method is described herein. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy are utilised to characterise the synthesised material’s morphology,...

Photoluminescence of Erbium-doped Silica-based Waveguide Film via Flame Hydrolysis Deposition and Aerosol Doping

Silica based waveguides on Si fabricated by flame hydrolysis deposition were doped with erbium ions using an aerosol doping technique, and co-doped with GeO2, P2O5 and B2O3. Erbium doping levels in the films were dependent on the nebulized solution concentration and delivery rate of the aerosol to the torch. The erbium solution concentration was varied from 4 to 8 wt%. The refractive index was ...

Morphology, Composition, and Bioactivity of Strontium-Doped Brushite Coatings Deposited on Titanium Implants via Electrochemical Deposition

Surface modification techniques have been applied to generate titanium implant surfaces that promote osseointegration for use in dental applications. In this study, strontium-doped brushite coatings were deposited on titanium by electrochemical deposition. The phase composition of the coating was investigated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The surface morphologie...
