Nano-porous alumina coatings for improved bone implant interfaces

A new method is proposed for coating implants that produces a metal implant covered in a layer of nano-porous alumina ceramic. These layers are produced by first depositing a layer of aluminium on the implant surface and then anodising it in phosphoric acid to produce the nano-porous structure. This...
