Synthesis of a two-phase nanopowder from prototype human synovial fluid and the use of the nanopowder for the preparation of coatings on titanium plates

详细

Using prototype human synovial fluid, we have synthesized a calcium phosphate nanopowder consisting of two crystalline phases (whitlockite and carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite). The nanopowder was used to produce calcium phosphate (monetite) coatings on titanium substrates by microarc oxidation. It has been shown that, with increasing microarc oxidation voltage (from 200 to 300 V), the mass, thickness, roughness parameter, and Ca : P ratio of the coatings increase linearly. Increasing the voltage to 300 V and the calcium phosphate coating growth time to 10 min allows a single-phase coating up to 100 μm in thickness, consisting of monetite nanocrystals, to be produced on a metallic surface and its adhesion strength to be improved.
