Hydroxyapatite coating deposited on grade 4 titanium by plasma electrolytic oxidation

Abstract

The present study reports the deposition of coating using Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) onto grade 4 titanium to produce novel surface features. Samples were treated in an electrolytic solution of calcium acetate and sodium glycerolphosphate. The temporal evolution of hydroxyapatite coatings with high Ra roughness and a maximum thickness of 120 mu m was obtained. X-ray spectra revealed the presence of hydroxyapatite, rutile and calcium phosphate. Cell growth measurement by MTT assay showed that the coatings were not toxic because cells grew on all samples.
