The long-term stability of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings has been under investigation for a long time. The evaluation of crystallinity is important since a relationship exists between the degree of crystallinity and the degradation by in vitro cellular reaction. However, the choice of a representativ

The amorphous phase content of air plasmasprayed hydroxyapatite coatings is dependent upon spraying and deposition conditions. X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy were used to investigate the influence of spray parameters on the formation of the amorphous phase. Results show three factors which
## Abstract The clinical use of plasmaβsprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on metal implants has been widely adopted because the HA coating can achieve the firmly and directly biological fixation with the surrounding bone tissue. However, the longβterm mechanical properties of HA coatings has been
## Abstract Conventional plasma torch was adapted to spray very fine Ca~5~ (PO~4~)~3~OH (hydroxyapatite, HA) precursors having sizes ranging from a few hundreds of nanometers to a few micrometers. The powders were put in suspension with distilled water and antidispersive agent. A home made suspensi
