TL;DR: This review covers briefly the requirements of typical biomaterials and narrowly focuses on the works on titanium, where calcium phosphate ceramics for use in implants are introduced and various methods of producing calcium phosphate coating on titanium substrates are elaborated.

TL;DR: The surface morphological features reveal that the oxide film formed on Ti6Al4V alloy is adherent to the substrate at 500 and 650°C irrespective of the oxidation time whereas it spalls off when the alloy is oxidized at 800°C for more than 8h as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ternary Ni-M-P and Ni-W-P alloy was synthesized from an acidic electroless bath and chemical analysis showed that tungsten incorporation reduced the phosphorus content in the deposit.

TL;DR: The in vitro dissolution study shows longer stability in phosphate buffer and cell culture test using osteoblast cells establishes biocompatibility of OHA, which exhibits superior sinterability in terms of hardness and density than both SHA and CHA may be due to larger surface area of its spherulite structure.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics and phase transformation behavior of plain electroless Nix2013,P coating and TiO2 composite coatings are investigated. And the authors conclude that the incorporation of Si 3N4, CeO2 andTiO2 particles in the Nix 2013,P matrix does not have any influence on the structure and phase-transformation behavior of the plain ENix2013;P coatings.
