Influence of sheet electron beam irradiation (SEBI) on water wettability of hydroxy apatites for artificial bone
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTAn influence of sheet electron beam irradiation (SEBI) on the wettability is investigated of the hydroxy apatite (HAP) [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2]. The wettability is one of the important factors to control bio-compatibility. The SEBI is homogeneously performed by an electrocurtain processor. The temperature of the sample is below 323 K just after the irradiation. The wettability is evaluated by measuring the wet angle θ in a drop of water. The SEBI increases the wettability. Based on rate process, the influence of SEBI on wettability is discussed. Using the SEBI, we can precisely control the surface condition of HAP.
