Part of clinically applicable bone graft substitutes are developed by using mechanical
stimulation of flow-perfusion into cell-seeded scaffolds. The role of fluid flow is crucial in …

This study aims at developing a process technique, which can deposit porous scaffold-like
hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on strong ceramic substrates. As a first trial, micro-porous HA …

Natural bovine hydroxyapatite/SiO2–CaO–MgO glass–ceramics were produced using the
transferred arc plasma (TAP) processing method. Homogeneous mixtures of HA/25wt …

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the tribological performance of bioactive zirconia
composite layers applied by press and sinter method on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) …

New composite hydroxyapatite/titanium (HA/Ti) coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying
on Ti–24Nb–4Zr–7.9 Sn alloy from milled precursor powders. The microstructures …

The success of implants in orthopaedic and dental load‐bearing applications crucially
depends on the initial biological fixation of implants in surrounding bone tissues. Using …

The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique was employed to produce calcium phosphate
coatings on titanium surfaces using an electrolyte composed of hydroxyapatite and calcium …

Alkali-treatment was performed to modify the surface of the TiO2-based film containing Ca
and P prepared by microarc oxidation (MAO) technique for improving the apatite-forming …

Plenty of techniques have been developed to modify the surface character of titanium (Ti)
and its alloys in order to realize their biological bond to natural bone. In this work, a …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have paved the way for the development of new smart
materials. The term" smart ceramics" refers to ceramic materials fabricated from ultrafine …
