There has been enormous growth in the use of medical implants.
However, in the case of hip replacement, loosening of metallic
prosthesis fixed with polymethylmethylacrylate bone cement has
resulted in painstaking revision surgery, which is a major problem
for the patient, surgeon, and biomedical technology itself. In
fact, global recognition of this problem led to the development of
cementless fixation through the novel introduction of a bioactive
hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating on biomedical-grade metallic implants.
Since then, a wide variety of coating methods have evolved to make
the HAp coatings on metallic implants more reliable. Microplasma
Sprayed Hydroxyapatite Coatings discusses plasma spraying and other
related HAp coating techniques, focusing on the pros and cons of
macroplasma sprayed (MAPS)- and microplasma sprayed (MIPS)-HAp
coatings. The book begins by explaining what a biomaterial really
is, what the frequently used term biocompatibility stands for, and
why it is so important for biomaterials to be biocompatible. It
then: Examines the structural, chemical, macromechanical,
micro/nanomechanical, and tribological properties and residual
stress of HAp coatings Evaluates the efficacies under simulated
body fluid immersion for MAPS- and MIPS-HAp coatings developed on
biomedical implant-grade SS316L substrates Offers a comprehensive
survey of state-of-the-art in vivo studies of MIPS-HAp coatings,
presenting the results of pioneering research related to bone
defect fixation Shedding light on the future scope and
possibilities of MIPS-HAp coatings, Microplasma Sprayed
Hydroxyapatite Coatings provides a valuable reference for students,
researchers, and practitioners of biomedical engineering and
materials science.
