Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were prepared on carbon/carbon (C/C) composites by plasma spraying and tested by in vitro and in vivo methods. The X-ray diffraction results indicated that the coatings consisted of HA, α-tricalcium phosphate, and tetracalcium phosphate. The in vitro biological behavior...
