The surface properties of biomaterials determine the interactions between biomedical devices and the surrounding biological environment. The surface modification of biomaterials is extensively recognized as a key strategy in the design of the next generation of bone implants and tissue engineering. In this study, the highly ordered octacalcium phosphate (OCP) coating and OCP/protein coating with hierarchically porous structure in nano-micro scale were constructed on titanium substrate by electrochemically-induced deposition (ED). The formation behavior of apatite on OCP and OCP/protein coatings immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated in physicochemical aspects. It is indicated that soaked in SBF, the OCP and OCP/protein coatings are possible to induce relevant apatite formation on their surface, and the apatite-forming behavior in body environment is depended on the chemical composition and structure of the coatings. The apatite formed on OCP/protein composite coating possesses carbonated structure, needle-like crystals in nano scale, lower Ca/P ratio and higher degree of the preferred c-axis orientation, which are similar to the mineral composition and structure in natural bone, and hence called as bone-like apatite.
