Biomaterials are
natural or synthetic materials that are used in human body and are materials to
evaluate, treat, support or replace any tissue, organ, or function of the body.
Due to its favorable biocompatibility and mechanical properties, HA-coated metal-based
implants are used in the orthopedic surgery operations. For this purpose,
sol-gel synthesized nano sized HA powders were produced. Ti6Al4V alloy was
coated with hydroxyapatite(HA) by using the sol–gel method. Surface
morphologies, thermal, mineralogical properties and bioactivity of the coatings
were examined and the characterization of the coatings was performed by using
DTA-TG, XRD, SEM, and EDX.
