Summary: In this study, ternary hydroxyapatite (HA)-Al2O3-TiO2 nanocomposite coating and HA nano-coating were developed on Mg alloy using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method for temporary bioimplant application. The microstructural studies showed uniform deposition of the coating with the presence of porosities, agglomerated particles, and micro-cracks in the composite coating. The phase evaluation revealed the presence of different phases in the composite coating and HA coating, and the residual stress varied in nature between the two coatings. The hydrophilicity increased after the application of the coatings, and the corrosion studies showed a decrease in corrosion rate for the composite coating compared to the HA coating.

Summary: Europium (Eu) doped calcium silicate (CS) coatings were successfully formed on titanium substrates via electrophoretic deposition. A low amount of Eu (2.5 mol%) improved coating adhesion strength and provided good apatite forming ability with lower degradation rate. Human fetal osteoblast (hFOB) cells attached and proliferated on all Eu-CS coatings, suggesting their biocompatible nature. Eu2.5CS coatings not only showed comparable cell proliferation with CS, but also enhanced the osteogenic activity of the CS coating, making them promising materials for biomedical implants.
