Plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings have been widely investigated for application on surface of biomedical metals to improve bonding and interaction between body tissues and implant. In this study, a small amount of amorphous silicon dioxide (silica,~1, 2, 5 wt.%) was introduced into HA slur...
