<![CDATA[Two weight percents of ceria (40 and 80 wt%) were added to tricalcium phosphate to improve someproperties for Ce doped ?-TCP by RF sputtering method on stainless steel substrate as coating for biomedicalapplications. The sputtering was done at 150 W and 150oC. The confirming of doping was achieved by sometechniques such as XRD, FESEM/EDS and EDS mapping, and indicated the occurring of incorporationbetween cerium oxide and TCP as thin film. Biocompatibility and antibacterial test was improved afteradding cerium oxide to TCP which candidate the prepared thin film for bio implants. Microhardness alsoexamined for prepared composites to show the increasing microhardness of CeO2/TCP coatings comparedwith conventional HA coating]]>
