The corrosion properties of implanted materials with protective coatings in isotonic physiological solution

S180 cell growth on low ion energy plasma treated TiO2 thin films

“…This may be because cell growth on TiO 2 was mainly influenced by nano-surface characteristics of oxide films rather than surface chemistries as it was suggested by several researchers. Zykova et al [34,35] and other researchers had also extensively studied the corrosion properties of implanted materials with protective coatings in isotonic physiological solution and for a short time cell/material interaction as well. In this study relatively large variation in the surface functionality was achieved by plasma treatment of TiO 2 surface whereas no significant change in the cell growth observed with individual surface functionality.…”

Corrosion properties of nitride, oxide and multilayer coatings on stainless steel and titanium-based substrates

“…The TiN coatings were deposited by means of Arc-PVD. The main parameters of the process were described in our previous study [7,8]: reactive atmosphere N 2 , deposition pressure 8 10 -2 Pa, arc current 100 A, substrate bias -150 V, deposition temperature 593 o K, thickness of deposited coatings 2 -5 μm. TiN (MS), Al 2 O 3 (MS) and multilayer coating deposition were performed in a high-vacuum pumping system with base pressure about 10 -5 mBar.…”

“…5 To whom any correspondence should be addressed. Release of metal ions into the tissues adjacent to the implants results in accumulation of harmful products in the tissues and internal organs of animals [7]. This may also be detrimental to the bone attachment and further bone growth on the implant surface.…”

Cell adhesion on biomaterial surfaces with nanocomposite oxide coatings

“…Presence of titanium in the surrounding tissues of these implants in the form of titanium compounds and subsequent failure of implants due to fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and poor wear resistance have been reported [7,8]. Release of metal ions into the tissues adjacent to the implants results in accumulation of harmful products in tissues and internal organs of animals [9]. Effects of substrate material composition, electrochemical properties, surface chemistry and topography on cell adhesion and proliferation processes have been largely studied [10][11][12].…”
