Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and its alloy have sufficient mechanical properties to be utilized as artificial hip joints and article teeth. However, they have no bioactivity. In this work, we prepared bioactive coatings on Ti by sol-gel techniques. The coatings had a double layered structure. Underlying layer was methylsiloxane (MS) consisted of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES). Top layer was MS-Ca-Nb-Ta hybrid composed of MTES, calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, pentaethoxy-niobium and pentaethoxy-tantalum. The coating exhibited formation of bone-like apatite in SBF immersion test. Adhesive strength of the coating was found to be 1.8 MPa.
