Abstract

In-vitro experiment method was used to study biomineralization properties of carbonate apatite bulk and electrophoresis coating with different carbonate contents. The mineralization processes in SBF solution were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and so on. Research results show that the apatite with poor crystallization and small grain size induced by the carbonate substitution is beneficial to the sintering of the bulk and the formation of the bone-like hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA) layer on the surface after soaking in the SBF. However, the carbonate substitution greatly reduces the pore size and porosity of coating, which is not conducive to the deposition and growth of the mineralized layer, thus weakens the biomineralization properties of the coating.
