Abstract:In this study, multilayered Cu/HA/ZnS + PEEK coatings were fabricated using hybrid technology on Zr –2.5Nb alloy substrates. The use of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and heat treatment allowed the 1st base composite ZnS + PEEK layer and the 2nd hydroxyapatite (HA) top layer to be obtained. The EPD kinetics of both layers was studied. Heating at a temperature of 450 °C and slow cooling resulted in densification and sulfonation of PEEK. It also led to an increase in the adhesion of HA particles on the surface … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
