| Abstract Scope |
The current work focuses on one such technique based on laser surface engineering to achieve the appropriate surface morphology and surface chemistry. By using pulsed and continuous wave laser direct melting techniques three dimensional textured surfaces with calcium phosphate (Ca-P) based chemistry on Ti-6Al-4V were synthesized. The influence of each processing type on the micro texture, phase evolution and associated effects on wettability, in vitro bioactivity, and in vitro biocompatibility were evaluated. The in vitro bioactivity and in vitro biocompatibility of the coatings were proved by the precipitation of an apatite like phase following immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), and increased proliferation and spreading of the MC3T3-E1 like cells. The results and understanding gained in the current research provides the platform for further exploration of additional precursor compositions and laser process parameters for synthesizing improved biocompatible coatings. |
