Download or read book Hydroxyapatite (HAp) for Biomedical Applications written by Michael Mucalo. This book was released on 2015-03-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydroxyapatite in the form of hydroxycarbonate apatite is the principal mineral component of bone tissue in mammals. In Bioceramics, it is classed as a bioactive material, which means bone tissue grows directly on it when placed in apposition without intervening fibrous tissue. Hydroxyapatite is hence commonly used as bone grafts, fillers and as coatings for metal implants. This important book provides an overview of the most recent research and developments involving hydroxyapatite as a key material in medicine and its application. - Reviews the important properties of hydroxyapatite as a biomaterial - Considers a range of specific forms of the material and their advantages - Reviews a range of specific medical applications for this important material

Book Synopsis Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications by : Sam Zhang

Download or read book Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications written by Sam Zhang. This book was released on 2013-05-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Hydroxyapatite, (HAP), a calcium phosphate bioceramic material, has been widely used in both dentistry and orthopedics due to its biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, its poor bulk mechanical properties have limited its use as load bearing material. An effective approach to solve this problem is to form a composite coating of HAP and titanium, in which titanium will be the matrix and HAP will act as reinforcement. In this research, two novel approaches, namely cold gas dynamic spraying (CGDS) and argon atmosphere plasma spraying (AAPS), were applied to manufacture HAP/Ti composite coatings. The aim was to produce thick and dense deposits and investigate the mechanical, electrochemical and incubation behavior of such biocomposites as potential load bearing materials for biomedical applications.
