Composite coatings containing brushite (CaHPO(4). 2H(2)O) and chitosan were prepared by electrochemical deposition. The brushite/chitosan composites were converted to hydroxyapatite/chitosan composites in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide. The coatings ranged from approximately 1 to 15% chitosan by weight. Qualitative assessment of the coatings showed adhesion significantly improved over that observed for electrodeposited coatings of pure HA.
