Electrochemical Deposition and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) on Titanium Substrate

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings were successful prepared onto titanium substrate by electrodeposition technique. XRD pattern and FTIR spectrum confirmed that pure hydroxyapatite crystals were deposited onto the titanium surface. Newly formed HAp crystals can grow on the as-deposited HAp coatings by immersion in SBF solution. The surface morphology of the HAp coatings has significantly changed with immersion time in the SBF solution.
