Film coated in the electrolyte with ethyl alcohol addition is more homogeneous and the growth rate is higher. The optimum quantity of ethyl alcohol added is 50% of the electrolyte. Although the pH value of electrolyte varies as ethyl alcohol is added, the phases of the deposited film remain the same, and are hydroxyapatite and brushite. The development of the microstructure of the coated film during deposition is discussed.

The results show that calcination treatment increases the average particle size and distribution, which changes from trimodal to monomodal. The sintering behaviours were investigated by dilatometry and density measurement. Fluidity of powder and driving force for sintering were found to dominate the properties, Calcining at 900°C and sintering 1250°C results in a higher bending strength (about 55 MPa) with finer grain size.
