Biomimetic hybrid inorganic/organic coatings in the increasing of the integration capacity of TiAlVZr bioalloy
This paper will address key issues related to the synthesis, characterization and utilization of inorganic/organic hybrid coatings on TiAlVZr bioalloy to control adsorption at interface and the integration capacity of the implant. To enhance the integration capacity function of the biomaterial is necessary to control the composition and structure via the use of hybrid materials consisting of organic and inorganic biomimetic phases [1,2]. Such composite coatings mimic the structure of natural materials of tissues, in our case hydroxyapatite (HA) by association of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with calcium phosphates matrices. Calcium phosphate coating have been deposited on metal substrates by electrochemical method.
