Synthesized silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite coating on titanium substrate by electrochemical deposition.

Silicon-substituted hydroxyapaptite (Si-HA) coatings were prepared on titanium substrates by electrolytic deposition technique in electrolytes containing Ca(2+), PO(4)(3-) and SiO(3)(2-) ions with various SiO(3)(2-)/(PO(4)(3-) + SiO(3)(2-)) molar ratios (η(si)). The deposition was all conducted at a constant voltage of 3.0 V, with titanium substrate as cathode and platinum as anode, for 1 h at 85°C.

Effect of trisodium citrate on electrolytic deposition of hydroxyapatite coatings.

Hydroxyapatite coatings were deposited on the titanium substrate by using various content Na₃Cit as an organic modifier in electrolytes. The influence of the Na₃Cit on the sizes of the HA crystals during electrolytic deposition was investigated under different molar ratio of Na₃Cit to calcium ions. The experimental results showed that the size of HA crystal was well controlled by the addition of Na₃Cit.

A novel method to synthesize hydroxyapatite coating with hierarchical structure.

A novel process has been developed for the preparation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating with a hierarchical structure on a Ti substrate. The Ti substrate was first subjected to electrolytic deposition at -1.6V (versus Ag/AgCl/KCl) in a solution of 0.
