Abstract
- Abstract: The biocompatibility of a kind of heat-treated bilayer hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with nano-particles was investigated, mainly in terms of the immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) and osteoblast adhesion. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of coatings and cellular adhesion. The phases present in the coatings were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration in SBF was measured by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results show nano-HA heat-treated at 650°C for 0.5h (BBCs) is comparatively stable during immersion in SBF and favor of the adhesion of osteoblasts. Cellular filopodia adhere firmly to the nano-particles and stretch in various direction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
