Surface modification of metallic implants is often required to facilitate positive interaction between the implant and the surrounding hard tissue. In the present study, a polymer-ceramic composite coating of poly (ε-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) was successfully deposited on a Ti6Al4V subs...
