Ta2O5 coatings containing 0, 3, 5 and 7 vol% multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The addition of CNTs had no obvious effect on the surface morphology and roughness of the coatings, but increased the coating porosity. The coa...
