Bioglass functionalization of laser-patterned bioceramic surfaces and their enhanced bioactivity
The surfaces of silicon nitride (β-Si3N4) and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) were patterned using a high-energy laser source, which operated at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The patterning procedure yielded a series regular, cylindrical cavities 500 and 300 μm in diameter and depth, respectively. These...
