Abstract

In order to improve the biocompatibility of implantable Ti-based alloy deposition of hydroxyapatite (HA) thin layers represent a natural and proper solution for osseointegration process. In this paper we present the preliminary results of electro-phoretic deposition of HA on Ti6Al4V substrate using an own experimental cell and HA suspension. The resulted layers were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) for HA layer morphological aspects and thickness and X-ray dispersive energy analyze (EDAX) for chemical considerations. The final products will be analyzed by “in vitro” and “in vivo” experiments..
