Structure, Properties and Biological Function of Plasma-Sprayed Bioceramic Coatings

Deposition, Structure, Properties and Biological Function of Plasma-Sprayed Bioceramic Coatings 

For a general account on the material properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics see Willmann (1993). Guidelines for a performance profile of plasma-sprayed bio-conductive hydroxyapatite coatings have been provided by Callahan, Gantenberg and Sands (1994) and Wintermantel and Ha (1996) (Table 6.1). A recent review paper by Demnati et al. (2014) highlights the salient physico-chemical features and the influence they have on biological consequences and in vivo performance.
