Abstract
The results showed that the chemical properties of the coatings were determined by both physical, apparatus-related factors and chemical, solution-related parameters. By varying the processing parameters of the technique, several crystal phases and phase mixtures were obtained, ranging from carbonate-free phases such as meta- and pyrophosphates, monetite and various tricalcium phosphates to carbonate-containing phases such as various carbonate apatites and calcite. On the basis of these results, a chemical mechanism of coating formation was proposed. Essentially, the deposition of the various crystal phases was the result of an acid-base reaction between basic CO32â groups (originating from solvent decomposition reactions) and acidic HPO42â groups from an intermediate monetite (CaHPO4) phase of the CaP precipitate. The amount of carbonate incorporation (ranging from 0 to 15Â wt%) determined the crystal and molecular structure of the deposited coatings.
