Nanonstructural Analysis of Hydroxyapatite Thin Films Using HRTEM/FIB Techniques
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 September 2012
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite, with a composition that resembles the mineral phase of bone, is often used as a coating of metallic prostheses to improve the adhesion and osseointegration of implants in different parts of the skeleton. Among the available techniques that allow the deposition of this material on metallic substrates, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is capable of producing high quality and highly biocompatible coatings with excellent final attachment.
