With a bonelike structure that promotes osseointegration, hydroxyapatite coating can be applied to otherwise bioinactive implants to make their surface bioactive, thus achieving faster healing and recovery. In addition to applications in orthopedic and dental implants, this coating can also be used in drug delivery. \u003cstrong\u003eHydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications \u003c\/strong\u003eexplores developments in the processing and property characterization and applications of hydroxyapatite to provide timely information for active researchers and newcomers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn eight carefully reviewed chapters, hydroxyapatite experts from the United States, Japan, Singapore, and China present the latest on topics ranging from deposition processes to biomedical applications in implants and drug delivery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMagnetron sputtering and electrochemical deposition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe modification of hydroxyapatite properties by sol-gel deposition to incorporate other elements found in natural bones, such as zinc, magnesium, and fluorine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe use of pure hydroxyapatite in drug delivery applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe growth or self-assembly of hydroxyapatite on shape memory alloy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHydroxyapatite composite coatings--with carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide (TiO2), and others--on the titanium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering valuable insights and a wealth of data, including numerous tables and figures, this is a rich source of information for research on hydroxyapatite coatings.
