Thin hydroxyapatite coating produced by the ion beam dynamic mixing method

Description
Summary:An ion beam dynamic mixing (IBDM) method was used to produce thin hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium substrates. Structure, solubility and bond strength of coatings were evaluated. The hydroxyapatite-type structure was obtained from heat-treated coatings. As-coated coatings seemed to be almost dissolved within 1 d in Hanks' solution. The thin layer of films, however, was recognized with a firm intermediate compound (such as Ti 3P 4) to the substrate by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, indicating the high tensile bond strengths from the as-coated films. Although slight reductions of the bond strength were observed in heat-treated specimens, the strengths were not reduced by immersion in Hanks' solution for 30 d.
