Abstract
AbstractThis work aims at studying of electrochemical oxidation of porous silicon (PSi) and its behaviour in simulated body fluid (SBF). Continuing electrochemical oxidation of PSi introduces gradual changes in morphology of the porous structure and composition of PSi. As a result, interaction between this material and SBF is changed. As more oxidized is the PSi sample, slower is the dissolution process (biodegradability) and more easily it becomes covered by the calcium‐phosphorous deposits from SBF (bioactivity). We observed that crystalline hydroxyapatite HA phase could be deposited in a very homogeneous manner onto OxPSi layers immersed in SBF at 36.5 °C during 30 days. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
