The possibility solid-state improvement through merging Aerosol Deposition and Low Pressure Cold Spraying techniques prospect improving efficiency quality coatings. objective paper to study possibilities structure modification c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with a hemiarthroplasty (HA), but little is known about the long-term failure of this treatment. We compared reoperation rates for patients aged at least 75 years with displaced femoral neck fractures treated with either internal fixation (IF), cemented HA, or uncemented HA (with or without hydrox...

Novel strategies to combat orthopedic device related infections are the need of hour. We have synthesized an antibacterial peptidomimetic and characterized its suitability as a non-covalent coating material for bioceramic hydroxyapatite discs.

This study evaluated the quantity and quality of newly formed vertical bone induced by sputtered hydroxyapatite-coated titanium implants compared with sandblasted acid-etched implants after dura mater elevation. Hydroxyapatite-coated and non-coated implants (n = 20/group) were used and divided equally into two groups. All implants were randomly placed into rabbit calvarial bone (four implants f...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of silica coating on bioactivity and biodegradability of hydroxyapatite. In this purpose, we firstly attempted to synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and its silica coated (Si-HA) sample in collagen matrix using calcium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium silicate. Characterization of the sample was carried out using Fourier transform...

OBJECTIVE To investigate osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on strontium-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) coated roughened titanium surfaces. METHODS Sr-HA coating and HA coating were fabricated on roughened titanium surfaces by electrochemical deposition technique and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESM). BMSCs were cultured on Sr...

INTRODUCTION: Magnesium alloys are attractive as a class of biodegradable metallic materials. However, too fast degradation is an obstacle to their clinical applications. Recently, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were applied on biodegradable magnesium alloys to delay their degradation. In vivo studies showed that the protective ability of the MAO coating should be further improved [1]. Seal...

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained by chemical conversion, to protect mild steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media. The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, were evaluated by open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, cro...

This work is investigating the chemical grafting on Ti surface of a polymer/calcium phosphate coating of improved adhesion for enhanced bioactivity. For this purpose, a whole new methodology was developed based on covalently attaching a hyperbranched poly(ethylene imine) layer on Ti surface able to promote calcium phosphate formation in a next deposition stage. This was achieved through an inte...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been used in clinical bone graft procedures for the past 25 years. Although a biocompatible material, its poor adhesion strength to substrate makes it unsuitable for major loadbearing devices. Investigations on various deposition techniques of HA coating on Ti–6Al–4V implants have been made over the years, in particular to improve its adhesion strength to the metal alloy...
