Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been used in clinical bone graft procedures for the past 25 years.
Although a biocompatible material, its poor adhesion strength to substrate makes it …

Recent years have seen a considerable upsurge in publications concerning the surface
structure and chemistry of materials with biological or biomedical applications. Within the …

The V2p and O1s XPS spectra of the vanadium oxides V2O5, VO2 and V2O3 were
measured to determine the V2p XPS fit parameters,(binding energy (BE) and% Lorentzian …

Biomimetic apatite coatings on micro-arc oxidized titania films were investigated and their
apatite-inducing ability was evaluated in a simulated body fluid (1.0 SBF) as well as in a 1.5 …

A flower‐like vanadium sulfide/reduced graphene oxide (VS4/rGO) composite was prepared
by a typical hydrothermal method and it was investigated as cathode for aluminum‐ion …

Conventional materials technology has yielded clear improvements in regenerative
medicine. Ideally, however, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue …

Electrochemical–corrosion properties of Ti, Ti6Al6Nb and Ti6Al4V implant materials coated
with calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings were investigated in vitro at the open circuit potential …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) thin films for applications in bone prosthesis fabrication were obtained
by the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The depositions were performed …

Biocompatible layers of hydroxyapatite and fluorhydroxyapatite were grown on Ti substrates
by means of dip-coating into sol–gel. In order to improve the adhesion of apatite-based …

The paper concerns a choice in the biofunctionalization of the coatings produced by plasma
electrolytic oxidation: either with inorganic components by introducing Ca-, P-containing …
