Abstract

The relationships among processing parameters, microstructure, and properties of the bioceramic composite coatings were studied. The coating structure was characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques while the mechanical properties were evaluated primarily by indentation-based techniques. Modes of the additives integration into the hydroxyapatite (HA) matrix and subsequent reinforcing mechanisms were discussed. The results show that mutual reaction between zirconia and HA or titania and HA cannot be avoided during the coating formation.
