Effect of Ca or Mg ion irradiation on the bioactivity and strength of hydroxyapatite

In order to improve bioactivity of hydroxyapatite (HA), the surface of HA was modified with calcium or magnesium ion irradiation. Calcium ion irradiation improved bioactivity of HA up to ion dose 1014 ions/cm2, whereas magnesium ion irradiation did not affect bone-like apatite formation. It is found...
