  • An alternate soaking process for apatite deposition on the pretreated titanium surface.
  • Investigating the effects of varying reaction cycles, solution temperature, and soaking time.

    • Main Results:

    • Apatite deposition was primarily dependent on the number of reaction cycles.
    • Apatite coating was largely independent of solution temperature and soaking time.
    • Characterization confirmed apatite formation via ion exchange and adsorption on the pretreated surface.
    • The method successfully coated a 200-grid titanium mesh, demonstrating applicability to complex shapes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed two-step chemical treatment and alternate soaking method is effective for apatite coating on titanium.
    • The number of reaction cycles is the key parameter for controlling apatite deposition.
    • This coating technique is suitable for titanium substrates with intricate geometries, offering potential for advanced biomedical implants.
