Surface modification of Ti alloys towards an improved osteoinductive behaviour is one of the major challenges in orthopaedic implant technology nowadays. One way to achieve this is by applying a bioactive coating which can increase the rate of osseointegration and chemical bonding of surrounding bone to the implant. In the present work, the production of a bioactive glass-ceramic coating on flat Ti alloys by electrophoretic deposition is demonstrated. The coatings are applied by cathodic deposition from non-aqueous suspensions followed by sintering in vacuum, avoiding uncontrolled oxidation of the Ti substrates. The use of non-aqueous suspensions both allowed to reduce the deposition time and yielded homogeneous coatings with a uniform thickness of 8 mu m. Evaluation of the coating adhesion confirmed the good mechanical performance of the coatings with a tensile bond strength of 41.0 +/- 11.1 MPa. Additionally, a feasibility study demonstrated the potential of electrophoretic deposition as a coating technique for commercial complex implants. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
