Hydroxyapatite coatings are of great importance in the biological
and biomedical coatings fields, especially in the current era of
nanotechnology and bioapplications. With a bonelike structure that
promotes osseointegration, hydroxyapatite coating can be applied to
otherwise bioinactive implants to make their surface bioactive,
thus achieving faster healing and recovery. In addition to
applications in orthopedic and dental implants, this coating can
also be used in drug delivery. Hydroxyapatite Coatings for
Biomedical Applications explores developments in the processing and
property characterization and applications of hydroxyapatite to
provide timely information for active researchers and newcomers
alike. In eight carefully reviewed chapters, hydroxyapatite experts
from the United States, Japan, Singapore, and China present the
latest on topics ranging from deposition processes to biomedical
applications in implants and drug delivery. This book discusses:
Magnetron sputtering and electrochemical deposition The
modification of hydroxyapatite properties by sol-gel deposition to
incorporate other elements found in natural bones, such as zinc,
magnesium, and fluorine The use of pure hydroxyapatite in drug
delivery applications The growth or self-assembly of hydroxyapatite
on shape memory alloy Hydroxyapatite composite coatings-with carbon
nanotubes, titanium dioxide (TiO2), and others-on the titanium
alloy Offering valuable insights and a wealth of data, including
numerous tables and figures, this is a rich source of information
for research on hydroxyapatite coatings. Each chapter also covers
material that provides an accessible stepping stone for those who
are new to the field.
