Characterization of mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite-silicon-multi walled carbon nano tubes composite coatings synthesized by EPD on NiTi alloys for biomedical application

- HA-Si-MWCNTs coating was fabricated on NiTi implant using electrophoretic deposition.
- HA-Si-MWCNTs coating has highest normal load before failure during scratch test.
- HA-Si-MWCNTs coating shows elastic modulus of 45.8 GPa between NiTi and bone tissue.
- Presence of both Si and MWCNTs in HA coating induce more adherence of viable hMSCs.
