| Description |
A bioinert ceramic substrate, alpha-Al2O3, has been coated with hydroxyapatite (HAp) by the biomimetic route using simulated body fluid (SBF) solution at room temperature. The substrate was incubated at 37 degrees C in SBF for 6 days with a periodic replacement with freshly prepared SBF at 48-h intervals. After 6 days, continuous nanofiber-like structures of HAp (5-35 mu m in length, 0.05 mu m diameter) were obtained, connecting the intra- and interglobular clusters, within the coated mineral layer on the substrate surface. This is a unique and new observation, and this phenomenon has been demonstrated by a simple fractal growth model.
