A poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-coating on polyethylene films, prepared by repetitive adsorption/drying in an aqueous PVA solution, accelerated hydroxyapatite (HAp) deposition by an altemate soaking in aqueous solutions containing Ca2+ and PO4(3-) ions. X-ray photoelectron spectra of the surface of the HAp-deposited film showed the presence of calcium and phosphorus of a suitable peak ratio for HAp formation. X-ray diffraction analyses also revealed peaks corresponding to HAp. Scanning electron microscopic observation showed the surface of the HAp layer to be smooth, with nano-ordered dotted threads in networks. A simple PVA coating on a surface will serve as a novel system for accelerated HAp formation via alternating soaking.
