It is realized that the surface of biomedical metallic implants covered by fluorohydroxyapatite, [Ca10(PO4)6(OH,F)](FHA) can create bioactivity of the implant and shorten healing time. In this work FHA, in the form of powders and of thin films...

In this work, Fluorohydroxyapatite (FHA) nanopowders were synthesized using nonalkoxide sol-gel method. Here calcium nitrate tetrahydrate Ca(NO3)2.4H2O, phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) and ammonium fluoride (NH4F) were used to provide Ca-precursor, P...

Abstract

Objectives

It is realized that the surface of biomedical metallic implants covered by Fluorohydroxyapatite, [Ca10

(PO4)6(OH, F)], (FHA) as a biomaterial can create bioactivity of the implant and shorten healing time...
