A novel composite consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAp) microparticles covalently coupled onto a silicone sheet was developed. Initially, an acrylic acid (AAc) -grafted silicone sheet with a 16.7 g/cm 2 surface graft density was prepared by corona-discharge treatment. The surface of sintered, spherical

## Abstract Hydroxyapatite [HA, Ca~10~(PO~4~)~6~(OH)~2~] coatings on polymer composite substrates were investigated for their bioactivity and their physicochemical and mechanical characteristics. HA holds key characteristics for use in orthopedic applications, such as for coating of the femoral ste
An intramedullary implant model in the canine femora was developed to evaluate the mechanical and histological responses between cancellous bone and plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) on Ti-6A1-4V implants, with 12-and 24-week follow-ups. HACs of different thicknesses were investigated. R
