Abstract
Adhesion strength and biocompatibility of bioceramic coatings produced by microplasma spraying was studied. It was established that with the use of a sub-layer the adhesion strength of the hydroxyapatite coatings increased, compared with that of coatings deposited without sub-layer. It is shown that increase in thickness of the coating to 130-160 mm leads to decrease in its adhesion strength down to 4.59 MPa (without sub-layer). High biocompatibility of the microplasma coatings was proved.
Keywords: microplasma spraying, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, parameters, adhesion strength, biological com¬patibility, investigations
