RESUMO

The biomaterials area has been focused on the development of synthetic or artificial materials that have similar properties to the human bone tissue. Among the diverse alternatives, one of the most used is the metallic substrate coated with bioceramics. By this technique it is possible to combine biocompatibilty, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) with the excellent biocompatibility of calcium phosphate bioceramics, specially the hydroxyapatite (HA). For this purpose, the polymeric method is one of the more flexible and promising techniques because it permits to combine three biocompatible materials (metal-polymer-ceramic) easily found in the market, being the polymer the HA-transporter/fixer material on the metal surface. The aim of this work was to study the physical-chemical characteristics of polivynilidene fluoride (a-PVDF) and a-PVDF/HA composite coatings, obtained by polymeric process, on cp Ti substrate surface pre-modified by laser beam irradiation. The preparation of coatings was done for mixturing a-PVDF pellets shape dissolved in dimethylacetamide (DMA) with HA/DMA emulsion. Soon afterwards, the mixtures were spread on the cp Ti samples and left to dry in an oven. Commercially pure titanium plates coated on only one of surfaces with a-PVDF/HA composite filme, in proportions of 100/00 and 60/40 in weight, were obtained and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), particle size analysis of the used HA, thickness measure, contact angle, water absorption test, three-point bend test, adhesion resistance test and photograph of the samples. The results showed that the used method provided a uniform and strongly adhered coating with little thickness variation along the coated surface
