(Received June 10, 1996; accepted for publication August 12,1996)

The ArF excimer laser deposition technique has been used to fabricate bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HAp) thin films on polymer materials such as polyimides (PI), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone rubber (SR), and polyethyleneterephthalate (PET). The crystallinity, structure, composition and surface morphology of HAp films are evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Crystallized HAp films are obtained on PI and PTFE, and mechanical properties of HAp films on the polymer materials are examined using an Instron testing machine. This result is very important to enable the application of organic/inorganic-ceramic composite materials in medical fields.
