Hydroxyapatite-Nanotube Composites and Coatings for Orthopedic Applications

An Investigation into the Relative Efficacy of High-Velocity Air-Fuel-Sprayed Hydroxyapatite Implants Based on the Crystallinity Index, Residual Stress, Wear, and In-Flight Powder Particle Behavior

“…Chen et al observed a crystal refining mechanism reasoned for crystallite size reduction of cold-sprayed HA of splats. The similar observation was observed on a low-temperature aerosol deposition process . The low-temperature process, which involves high impact, resulted in finer and more orderly bonded coatings.…”
