Apatite formation on electrochemically modified surface of hafnium metal in simulated body environment
Biomedical application of Hf for hard tissue repair may be expanded if it can be imparted with bone-bonding ability. Apatite formation in the body is required for artificial materials to bond to bone. We have shown that apatite can form on NaOH- and heat-treated Hf in simulated body fluid, although...
