Quantitative Phase Analysis of Ceramic Coatings

From Lambda Technologies
 

 

Medical and dental implants employing hydroxylapatite (HA) plasma-sprayed coatings on a structural substrate are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications. Both the crystallinity of the coating and the presence of contaminant phases are believed to affect the biological response to the ceramic coating.
