The effect of substrate temperature and processing parameters on microstructure and crystallinity of calcium phosphate coatings deposited on heated substrates in an Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) system are being studied. The experimental procedures include mechanical testing and film thickness measurements using bonding strength and profilometery. Cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) through the thickness of the film as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX at the top surface of the film was performed to evaluate the microstructure of the film. The coating crystallinity was studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD). The information gained from current analysis on the set temperature coatings will be used to refine the processing techniques of the Functionally Graded Hydroxyapatite (FGHA) coating.

Ionic substituted calcium phosphate coatings (iCP) have been prepared by the electrochemical pulse current deposition technique with an alternate pulse on and off time of 5 ms onto a titanium alloy substrate. The elemental distribution and morphology of the deposited layers have been extensively studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallinity and phase structure of iCPs have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion characteristics and biodegradability of coatings have been determined by electrochemical measurements, recording potentiodynamic curves in a physiological solution over a long-term immersion period. The cell viability tests confirmed that the iCP coating was biocompatible, while the corrosion tests proved its biodegradable characteristic. In our paper, we compare the morphological, chemical, and biological characteristics of silver and zinc substituted calcium phosphate layers deposited by the electrochemical method.

In the present work two different hydroxyapatite nanofilms (50 and 100 nm thick) have been successfully deposited on titanium implants that were previously laser macrostructured in order to assess the influence of the thickness of nanometric calcium phosphate coatings on the osseointegration. Cylindrical implants were tested in a sheep tibia model together with titanium alloy controls achieving very good osseointegration results. Laser macrostructured titanium alloy implants have shown improved bone regeneration when coated with nanometric films of carbonated HA. The pulsed laser deposited nanofilm has promoted bone in-growth deep into the laser ablated craters. There were no significant differences between the two coating thicknesses, neither when assessed with electron microscopy or classical optical methods. This result suggests that the 50 nm coating is as effective as the 100 nm one, therefore implying that the thickness limit for such a bioactive layer to stimulate bone growth may be even further below.
