In vitro and in vivo characterization of mineralized hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone-graphene oxide based bioactive multifunctional coating on Ti alloy for bone implant applications

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a form of naturally occurring calcium apatite present in bone and tooth enamel. It is an important biomaterial with diverse biomedical applications such as a surface coating for metallic orthopedic implants. Synthesized pristine HAP has poor mechanical properties, inferior we...
