The deposition, characterisation and biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite and silicon doped hydroxyapatite thin film coatings for orthopaedic applications
Silicon doped hydroxyapatite (SiHA) could be used as a thin film coating on load bearing bone implants to provide a bioactive layer enabling bone to form a direct bond with the implant/bone interface thus increasing implant lifetime by lowering the chances of aseptic loosening. This study has been u...
