Abstract
Brushite flakes are rapidly synthesized on pyrolytic carbon modified carbon fibers (PCF) by pulsed electrodeposition (PED) method. The maximum length of the brushite flakes could reach 63.5 μm in 10 s and 423.7 μm in 20 min. The formation mechanism of the brushite flakes is proposed, identifying the influence of fiber-shaped substrate, surface oxygen-containing functional group and PED preparation method. Moreover, good biomineralization ability of the brushite flakes is confirmed by in-vitro test in simulated body fluid. The brushite flakes prepared by this method has the potential applications as bioactive coatings, biological reinforcements, biological fillers and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
