Abstract
A biomimetic method was used to promote a bioactive surface on a CoCrMo alloy (ASTM F75). To enhance the nucleation of apatite on the metallic substrate, wollastonite ceramics (W), bioactive glass (BG) or hydroxyapatite (HA) were used in the biomimetic method. Metallic samples were chemically treated and immersed for 7 days in SBF on a bed of bioactive material (W, BG or HA) followed by an immersion in 1.5SBF for 7 or 14 days without bioactive system.
A bonelike apatite layer was formed on the surface of all the samples tested. The samples treated with wollastonite showed a higher rate of apatite formation and the morphology of the layer was closer to that of the existing bioactive systems. A higher crystallinity of the apatite layer was also observed by using wollastonite. The pH of the SBF, the Ca/P ratio and the thickness of the layer on the samples treated with wollastonite and bioactive glass increased as increasing the immersion time. The thickness of the layer on the samples treated with hydroxyapatite also increased with time, but the pH of the SBF and the Ca/P ratio changed with no a defined trend.
