• Release : 06 March 2015

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

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is known as one of the most important biomaterials used for orthopedic and dental applications due to chemical composition similar to that of bone and bioactive properties. However, due to its reduced resistance, HAp should be mixed with different components in order to create composite materials. A good example is austenitic stainless steel (AA 316L), as a class of metallic materials used for biomedical applications. The aim of this chapter is to show a series of our group

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
