Hydroxyapatite-Titania nanotube composite as a coating layer on Co-Cr-based implants: mechanical and electrochemical optimization
Inadequate mechanical properties of pure hydroxyapatite (HA) coating layers make it an unsuitable candidate for many load-bearing orthopedic implants. In this study, Titania nanotubes (TNT) and HA were synthesized using Rapid Breakdown Adonization (RBA) and sol-gel methods, respectively. The sinteri...
