%0 Journal Article %T Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite¨CChitosan¨CTitania on Stainless Steel 316 L %J Surfaces | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/surfaces2030034 %X In this research, hydroxyapatite (HA)¨Cchitosan¨Ctitania nanocomposite coatings were formed on 316 L stainless steel using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from alcoholic (methanol and ethanol) suspensions containing 0.5 g/L chitosan and 2 and 5 g/L HA and 2 and 5 g/L Titania. The effect of different parameters on the deposition rate, morphology, and corrosion resistance of the coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 ˇăC has been studied. The coatingsˇŻ properties were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the results of this work, it was found that the deposition rate in ethanolic suspensions is lower than methanolic ones. Moreover, the coating surface was smoother when the ethanol was used as a solvent in suspensions in comparison to the ones where methanol was the solvent. The coating deposited from a suspension containing 0.5 g/L chitosan, 2 g/L HA, and 5 g/L titania with ethanol as solvent had the highest corrosion resistance in SBF at 37 ˇăC.
