Single-walled carbon nanotubes/hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium obtained by electrochemical deposition

- The incorporation of SWNTs into the HA coating leaded to the formation of homogeneous and crack-free composite coatings.
- The highest bonding strength was detected for the SWNTs/HA-0.5 composite coating (25.70 MPa).
- The SWNTs/HA composite coatings induced better cell proliferation, cell viability and ALP activity compared to pure HA coating and pure Ti.
- The results suggested that SWNTs/HA-0.5 and SWNTs/HA-1.0 composite coating prepared in this work is acceptable in terms of mechanical property and in-vitro bioactivity.
