![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Coating of hydroxyapatite films on metal substrates by seeded hydrothermal deposition Coating of hydroxyapatite films on metal substrates by seeded hydrothermal deposition](/preview/png/1659183.png)
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was successfully coated on various metal substrates by a novel seeded hydrothermal deposition method. A nanoscale HAP seed layer was first formed by a short electrochemical synthesis. The seed layer promotes HAP crystal growth onto the surface during a subsequent hydrothermal crystallization step. The surface morphology and microstructure of the HAP coatings can be regulated by varying the reaction temperature, solution pH, calcium-to-phosphorus molar ratio in the starting solution, and hydrothermal deposition time. The new method has advantages over many other reported HAP deposition techniques in that it produces highly crystalline, crack-free, adherent films of uniform thickness. In all the films, the HAP crystals are preferentially oriented with the c-axis normal to the substrate. The as-developed HAP coatings are attractive for applications in the area of bioactive surface modification of metallic implants where the microstructure of the film is advantageous for promoting bone growth.
