Abstract:
The present work describes coating the titanium implants with biocompatible materials (ceramics or composites). Three techniques were implemented to materialize this work; these are : pulsed laser deposition, spray pyrolysis, and electrochemical deposition. In these techniques, the influence of deposition temperature, solution concentration, polymer and H2O2 addition, buffer layer sandwiching, and electrolytes combinations were tested. The obtained films’ properties were investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Optical Microscope, X - ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Vickers’ hardness instrument, and Simulated Body Fluid (SBF).Composite films prepared by pulsed laser deposition showed the formation of polycrystalline hydroxyapatite of low crystallinity due to the addition of polymeric shrimp crusts. These films had (80 - 90 nm) spherical grains and constitute only (20 - 25%) of the favorable range (80 - 200 nm), and good hardness (≈550 HV). Pure hydroxyapatite (ceramic) films had (11 - 15 nm) surface roughness and an average grain size of (48 - 65 nm) which represents (7 - 31%) of the favorable range. All these films were porous, have good adhesion, and uniform surface morphology. Best results of pulsed laser deposition technique were obtained at 125oC deposition temperature. Films prepared by spray pyrolysis showed porous polycrystalline A and B - type carbonated hydroxyapatite and single crystalline α - Ca3(PO4)2; of relatively low crystallinity and hardness increased with deposition temperature. Post annealing at 400oC and 800oC for film prepared at 350°C of (0.0325 M) solution concentration has raised the hardness from 222 HV to 488 HV and 1204.25 HV respectively. The films of (0.0325 M) solution concentration had (101 - 105 nm) average grain size and were (78 - 100%) of the favorable range, whereas the films of (0.0406 M) solution concentration had (92 - 96 nm) and made (74 - 100%) of the favorable range. Good bioactivity and adhesion strength were obtained from these films which were enhanced significantly after post annealing. Optimum results were obtained from films prepared at 350oC of (0.0325 M) solution concentration after post annealing. Films prepared by electrochemical deposition technique showed uniform and highly porous polycrystalline B - type carbonated hydroxyapatite and polycrystalline α - Ca3(PO4)2. These films had an average grain size of (66 - 93 nm) when prepared from ((NH4)2HPO4 and Ca(NO3)2) whereas the grain size was (87 - 118 nm) when prepared from (Na3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2) with low roughness values. They had (45 - 68%) and (64 - 87%) respectively of the useful grain size in the favorable range (80 - 200 nm). The films covering area increased after H2O2 addition. These films had poor adhesion but this slightly improved together with the roughness after a buffer layer was deposited.The composite films had low crystallinity, grain size, hardness, and poor adhesion. Films prepared at 70oC from both electrolytes combinations ((NH4)2HPO4 with Ca(NO3)2, and Na3PO4 with Ca(NO3)2) had the best surface morphology and crystallinity with an optimum hardness (≈475HV). All these films had very fast dissolution rate in Simulated Body Fluid. Spray pyrolysis deposition technique proved to be the most promising technique for biocompatible materials fabrication for bone implants requirement
