Abstract:

     The purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (HA) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. The HA deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. Methanol was found to be the best deposition media. Among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pressure (10-5-10-4 and 2×10 -2 Torr) and also the purge of the argon gas in the tube-like furnace, the optimum environment was the one demonstrating the encapsulation under the vacuum pressure of 2×10-2 Torr (washing with argon gas of 99.9% purity). After the examination of 3 sintering temperatures (1020, 1050 and 1100 ºC), the sintering temperature at 1050 ºC illustrated the most desired results. The samples sintered under these conditions were apparently intact, most of the interfacial part of the coating was found to be attached to the substrate surface irregularities and no single cracks were observed.

Electrochemical and electrophoretic deposition of hydroxyapatite for orthopaedic applications

The basic calcium phosphate mineral, hydroxyapatite (HAP) (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)), is the prototype of one of the major constituents of bone and teeth. Thin layers of HAP were coated on the surface of type 316L stainless steel by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from a 2.5% suspension in isopropyl alcohol, and this was followed by vacuum sintering at 800uC for 1 h. The development of HAP coatings wa...

Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Film Containing Re-Doped MoS2 Nanoparticles

Films combining hydroxyapatite (HA) with minute amounts (ca. 1 weight %) of (rhenium doped) fullerene-like MoS₂ (IF) nanoparticles were deposited onto porous titanium substrate through electrophoretic process (EPD). The films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The SEM analysis showed relatively uniform coatings of the HA + IF on the ti...

Nano-Hydroxyapatite Coated Acetabular Cup Implant by Electrophoretic Deposition

A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...

Hydroxyapatite coating by electrophoretic deposition at dynamic voltage.

The aim of this study was to evaluate hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings produced by dynamic voltage during electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Dynamic voltages from 0 to 200 V were incrementally applied in three interims. The as-deposited coating was sintered at 800 degrees C and its properties evaluated. Structure and phase analyses of both as-deposited and sintered coatings were evaluated by scannin...
