Summary:Carbon/Carbon composite is considered to be one of the best biomaterials substitute to human hard tissues due to its excellent biocompatibility and the much closed elastic modulus to human skeleton. It has been widely used and studied to the fields of artificial bones materials, but the osteoinductivity need to be improved. In recent years, the commonly used surface modification to improve their bone induction, such as hydroxyapatite, chitosan and so on, which prompted the adsorption of osseous protein, adhesion and growth of cells. It is believed the surface modification and coating of the carbon/carbon composite should promote its application in artificial bones. This article reviews the modified coat of medical carbon / carbon composites in recent years, and proposed some recommendations for the development of medical carbon / carbon composite in the future.
