Abstract

Biomaterials are natural or synthetic materials that are used in human body and are materials to evaluate, treat, support or replace any tissue, organ, or function of the body. Due to its favorable biocompatibility and mechanical properties, HA-coated metal-based implants are used in the orthopedic surgery operations. For this purpose, sol-gel synthesized nano sized HA powders were produced. Ti6Al4V alloy was coated with hydroxyapatite(HA) by using the sol–gel method. Surface morphologies, thermal, mineralogical properties and bioactivity of the coatings were examined and the characterization of the coatings was performed by using DTA-TG, XRD, SEM, and EDX.
