Quinone-rich polydopamine functionalization of yttria stabilized zirconia for apatite biomineralization: The effects of coating temperature

- Synthesis of functionalized yttria stabilized zirconia using polydopamine.
- The hydrophilicity (40.9 ± 01.7°) was improved at coating temperature of 60 °C.
- More quinone groups were formed at optimum coating temperature of 50 °C.
- Ca2p percentage increased at 50 °C due to the presence of abundant quinone groups.
- Apatite layer with Ca/P ratio of 1.67 formed on the surface of the grafted samples.
