Thermal Processing of Calcium Phosphate Coatings on Zirconia Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

A two-step, biomimetic approach was applied for the rapid deposition of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) coatings on zirconia ceramics (Y-TZP). In the first step, sintered zirconia discs were immersed into a supersaturated Ca-P solution with pH=7.4 (CPS1). In the second step, the substrates were transferred from the CPS1 to another Ca-P solution with a lower pH (CPS2). After 6 hours of immersion in the CPS2, a thick coating consisting of large OCP crystals was obtained. Afterwards, the coated substrates were subjected to a thermal treatment in order to improve the attachment of the coating to the substrate.
