Abstract

A SiC coating for carbon/carbon (C/C) composites was produced by pack cementation to use as a bonding and buffer layer between C/C composites and bioactive ceramic for application in orthopaedic implants. The microstructure and MG63 osteoblast-like cell responses of the coating were investigated. The results confirmed that the SiC coating displayed a dense and uniform microstructure. MG63 cells attached and spread favorably on SiC coating, and cell proliferation was better on SiC coating than on uncoated C/C composites surface. The SiC coated C/C composites have the potential to be used in artificial implants.
