The morphology and surface topography of calcium silicate coated on Ti6Al4V implant were studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) respectively. The surface of titanium alloy plates was mechanically ground with 320, 800 and 1200 grits of SiC abrasive paper followed by surface polishing into mirror-like finish. The synthesized β-CaSiO3 was deposited onto the Ti6Al4V substrate using electron beam evaporator. After coating, calcium silicate was heat treated at 500 °C for 1 hour. Characterization of the calcium silicate coated on Ti6Al4V substrate using e-beam evaporation technique demonstrated that 5 wt% of PVA addition was able to improve the coating-to-substrate adhesion.
