Objectives
Outcomes
Objectives
- Determine the effect of heat treatment parameters on product quality
- Analysis of microstructural and mineralogical features of different samples
- Assess cell viability on coating surfaces of the biomedical product on implant surfaces
Outcomes
- Characterisation revealed optimal window for processing of samples
- Mechanical tests were conducted to see differences in flexural samples of different test samples and assess batch reliability
- Cell viability tests showed that processing parameters impacted on the crystallinity which in turn influenced the cell viability
