Abstract
Presented zirconia-based layers doped with calcium and hydroxyapatite were obtained using the sol-gel method and deposited on the metallic (titanium and steel) surface with the use of dip-coating technique and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. Obtained layers were examined with multiple spectroscopic and microscopic methods such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Also the surface properties - wettability and surface free energy (SFE) - were measured. Bioactivity of the obtained layers was evaluated by the in vitro test in simulated body fluid (SBF) - the so-called Kokubo test.
