Abstract
In order to overcome the poor adhesion of zirconia-silica coating electrophoretically deposited on 316 L stainless steel, graphene oxide (GO) was used as an interlayer. The effect of this interlayer on morphological, microstructural, corrosion performance and bioactivity behavior of ZrO2–10 at. % SiO2 coating was studied. The zirconia-silica coating with the GO interlayer revealed a higher barrier performance as a more compact and a greater adhesive layer to the substrate was created. Indeed, the GO interlayer led to an improvement in apatite formation on zirconia-silica coating surface probably due to create higher roughness. Briefly, the GO interlayer was effective on enhancement of electrochemical performance and biological property of zirconia-silica composite coating, making it a suitable candidate for biomaterials applications.
