Fig. 3 Schematic showing the steps involved in the development of HAp coating
The main aim of this chapter is to provide a literature survey on the various aspects
of the solution combustion synthesized hydroxyapatite and related oxide powders
reported in literature. The chapter also focuses on the solution combustion synthesis
of flowable plasma spray grade hydroxyapatite powder, fabrication of hydroxyapatite
coating on Ti alloy and its characterization including the in vitro studies.
1.3 Solution Combustion Synthesis
Solution combustion synthesis is also known as flash combustion or fire synthesis
is the most widely used wet chemical route for the synthesis of nano and micronsized oxide powders [20–24]. This method is based on the concept of a fire triangle
i.e., it requires an oxidizer, a fuel and an ignition source to create a fire and crystalline oxides are formed due to the high flame temperature. The steps involved in the
solution combustion method are shown in Fig. 4. An oxidizer is usually an electron
