Abstract

Carbon-carbon composite has mechanical properties similar to human bone, as well as good biocompatibility, but without bioactivity. TiOx film was deposited onto carbon-carbon composite by ion beam-enhanced deposition (IBED) technique, and a porous network was formed on the TiOx film after alkali treatment. The network induced the deposition of calcium phosphate layers with different morphologies and compositions from simulated body fluid and the fast calcification solution.
