Abstract
In order to improve the interfacial bonding at coating-substrate, a graphene oxide-hydroxyapatite (GH) coating was designed and constructed. The microstructure, bonding strength and in vitro bioactivity of the coating were analyzed. The results showed that GH coating presented uniform and crack-free structure with a flake morphology. The bonding strength of GH coating was 7.81[Formula: see text]MPa, which is about 1.2 times that of pure hydroxyapatite coating. In vitro bioactivity test using simulated body fluid exhibited that GH coating processes the ability to induce apatite formation. The GH coating should have potential application in surface modification for biomedical materials.
