Description
This book focuses on a promising achievement of biomaterials engineering: surface modifications of titanium and its alloys, including change in surface topography, formation of subsurface layers, and deposition of coating.
* Describes titanium and its alloys and applied surface treatment approaches.
* Demonstrates electropolishing and anodization of titanium biomaterials, the formation of composite layers by micro-arc oxidation in electrolytes of different compositions, and laser-made surface modification.
* Details coatings based on nanohydroxyapatite, chitosan, polyetheretherketone, oils, 3 polysaccharides, and carbon nanotubes, with a separate chapter focused on the thermal stability of hydroxyapatite.
* Discusses adhesion and cohesion strengths, important because of the high mechanical stresses imposed on titanium implants.
* Considers the biological behavior of modified surfaces regarding bioactivity, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial efficiency as well as the phenomenon of biofilm formation and possible countermeasures.
Authored by world-renowned researchers, this book provides readers working in biomaterials, biomedical, and chemical engineering as well as medicine with the most important developments and practical applications in titanium surface modifications.
