Herein the preparation of Sr2+-doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings on poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) substrates by pulsed electron deposition (PED) was investigated. Hydroxyapatites (HA) substituted with tailored amounts of Sr2+ up to 9wt% were synthesized to generate the deposition targets. Dense...
