Abstract:For the first time, the growth mechanism of biominerals formed on plate-like nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) electrodeposited on superhydrophilic vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (VAMWCNT-O 2 ) is presented and a model for the specific growth preference is discussed. VAMWCNT-O 2 films were obtained by microwave-assisted chemical vapor deposition method and funcionalized by oxygen plasma. nHAp/VAMWCNT-O 2 nanocomposites were fabricated with a direct electrodeposition of the thin nHAp films onto the VA… Show more
