- Abstract
Surface engineering continues to play an important role in improving the biocompatibility of hard tissue replacements. Recently, the hierarchical organization of natural biomaterials has been realized as an important property that guides the attachment of tissues, cells, and proteins at various levels of interactions. Currently, researchers are focusing interest on developing hierarchical bioactive structures for effective osseointegration. The present effort discusses a multi-textured calcium-phosphate-based coating produced by laser surface engineering. The chemical and morphological evolution of these bioactively' textured coatings was studied along with biomimetic precipitation of calcium phosphates when immersed in simulated body fluids.
