| Summary: | Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a widely accepted, cost-effective and simple method to obtain conformal coatings of dense nanoparticles via application of a DC voltage. This paper reports the physical and mechanical properties of nanostructured barium titanate/hydroxyapatite (BT/HA) ceramic composites coated onto Ti-6Al-4V alloy via cathodic EPD in various ratios of 40:60, 50:50 and 60:40 (HB4, HB5 and HB6) respectively. Homogenous BT/HA coatings were obtained at a notably low voltage of 10 V. The crystallinity and phase analysis confirmed the formation of tetragonal phase of BT indicating the piezoelectric property. HB6 exhibits maximum piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 159 pC/N and Vicker's hardness of 242.31 HV. The cross-sectional electron micrographs show well connected and homogeneous coatings with increasing amounts of BT. Human mesenchymal stem cell lines were utilized in biocompatibility experiments, which revealed that HB composites had greater viability of HW-MSCs cells than pure BT, with HB6 exhibiting a maximum cell viability of more than 90 %. |
