  • Title: Formation and characterization of anodic titanium oxide films containing Ca and P.
    Author: Ishizawa H, Ogino M.
    Journal: J Biomed Mater Res; 1995 Jan; 29(1):65-72. PubMed ID: 7713960.
    Abstract:
    Commercially pure titanium was anodized in an electrolytic solution that was dissolved calcium and phosphorus compounds in water, and an AOFCP (anodic titanium oxide film containing Ca and P) was formed. It was found that sodium beta-glycerophosphate (beta-GP) and calcium acetate (CA) were suitable for the electrolytes to form the AOFCP having an equivalent Ca/P ratio to hydroxyapatite (HA). The AOFCP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), an energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Numerous micropores and microprojections were observed on the AOFCP by SEM. The composition of the AOFCP, which was measured by EDX, changed according to beta-GP and CA concentration, and the electrolytic voltage. Ca and P in the AOFCP seem to be incorporated into the TiO2 matrix from CA and beta-GP in the electrolyte during the anodic oxidation. Despite the existence of Ca and P in the AOFCP, no calcium phosphate peak was detected by XRD, and the AOFCP consisted of anatase and only a little rutile. The AOFCP, whose contents of Ca and P were low, had a high adhesive strength after soaking in a simulated body fluid for 300 days. When the AOFCP having an equivalent Ca/P ratio to HA was hydrothermally heated at 300 degrees C, HA crystals were precipitated on the AOFCP and completely covered the surface.
