Abstract
The research explored the spontaneous formation of the BAp precursor on surfaces of HfO2 films obtained by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). It has been found that a careful selection of ALD growth conditions, followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTP) is crucial to achieve bioactivity of the films. Simulated Body Fluid experiment was used as a reliable test of the film's functionality as bone implant coating. SEM, XRD and XPS investigations proved that amorphous calcium orthophosphate structures were formed on the HfO2 films. These structures are of importance for biomineralization of bones. Physical and chemical characterization of the films was an integral part of the research. Such approach allowed us to achieve biomaterial functionality while maintaining the films’ quality. The finding has significance for future progress in personalized traumatological medicine.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
