Technically pure titanium, silicon (111) single crystals, and potassium bromide (KBr) single crystals were used as substrates. As-deposited thin calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings (up to 1 m thick) were characterized by EDX, ESEM, XRD, TEM, IR spectroscopy, and scratch-test. The biological response to the studied films have been carried out using in vitro tests. For instance, the cell viability was evaluated by the MTT assay using MG-63 osteoblast-like sarcoma cells. This test is based on the ability of living cells to reduce tetrazolium dye MTT to purple formazan crystals. In the case of Ag-HA coatings, antibacterial studies were performed in vitro by means of inhibition zone test using Escherichia coli (E. Coli) bacteria. As-deposited CaP-based coatings were dense and pore-free, and their composition was close to that of the precursor target composition. The chemical and phase composition as well as thickness and structure can be varied by adjusting the deposition control parameters. A low rf-power density (0.1-0.5 W cm-2) resulted in amorphous or low crystalline CaP-coating structure, and an increase in rf-power level (>0.5 W cm-2) induced the crystallization of the coating. The diffraction patterns of the coatings corresponding to crystalline HA. The four strongest peaks were observed at 25.8° (002), 31.7° (211), 32.2° (112), and 32.9° (300) (Cu Kα radiation; 1.54 Å). The (002) peak dominated the diffraction pattern, indicating a preferred c-axis crystallographic orientation. Its intensity increased with film thickness. With an increase in the substrate bias voltage from 0 to −100 V, the intensity of the (002) peak gradually decreased. The MTT test revealed that the cell viability on Si-HA coated surfaces was up to 70% higher than that in case of control substrates. On the surface of the coatings, cells with a spread-out morphology were observed. Therefore, in vitro cell culture results demonstrated that osteoblast-like cells attached and proliferated well on the surface of the coatings. No significant antibacterial effect was found in the case Ag-HA coatings. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that RF allowed us to prepare CaP-based coatings with different structure and stoichiometry controlling the deposition parameters. Ass.
