Abstract:
A novel, simple and economical chemical bath method for deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite coating has been developed. The coatings were prepared from EDTA solutions in alkaline media on Ti6Al4V substrates. The method is based on thermal dissociation of the Ca(EDTA)2- complex at 65-95 degrees C. Two chemical baths with and without presence of Na+ and Cl- were used for the deposition. The Rutherford back scattering study shows that the coating material from bath which contained sodium and chlorine ions have their presence in the coated material. The bath which has been prepared with potassium substituting sodium and nitrate substituting chlorine produced coatings with better stoichiometry, with Ca/P=1,67. The X-ray analysis revealed that the calcium hydroxyapatite coatings have preferred crystal orientation in the 002 direction.
