The surface morphologies and compo- sitions of the calcium phosphate coatings deposited in the phosphating bath with different compositions were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Results showed that the calcium phosphate coating was mainly composed of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4o2H20, DCPD), with Ca/P ratio of approximately 1 : 1. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by acid drop, electrochemical polarization, elec- trochemical impedance spectroscopy and immersion tests. The dense and uniform calcium phosphate coating obtained from the optimal phosphating bath can greatly decrease the corrosion rate and hydrogen evolution rate of AZ91D magnesium alloy in SBE展开更多

The b-nanoHA, gelatin (Gel) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) were used to prepare bone-like composites (b-nanoHA/ Gel/PVA) at room temperature. Characterizations of b-nanoHA powders and b-nanoHA/Gel/PVA composites were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Bending strength and compressive strength of the composite were tested. It was found that microstructure of the b-nanoHA powders was whisker shape and its crystalline degree was low similar to natural bone, bending strength and compressive strength of the b-nanoHA/Gel/PVA composite depended on the mixing ratio of HA, Gel and PVA, and also PVA could induce the network formation in the b-nanoHA/Gel/ PVA composite.展开更多
