Abstract:With the use of the sputtering technique, carbon incorporation was carried out on TiO 2 anodized with HCl. FE-SEM study revealed the formation of tubes and/or fibers nanostructures on the surface of the acquired samples. It was possible to identify the presence of carbon by vibrational modes and EDS analysis. The nanoindentation test demonstrated how the carbonincorporated TiO 2 samples improved the nanohardness and elastic modulus compared to titanium and TiO 2 anodized. The presence of carbon was able to rei… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
