Investigation of TiO2 Thin Coatings for Medical Applications by X-Ray Diffraction and Raman Microspectroscopy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The titanium and titanium alloys endoprostheses surface may be improved by forming TiOx single layer or TiOx – hydroxyapatite multi – layer on their surface. Biocompatibility of TiOx layers depends highly on their microstructure, parameters of formation method and properties of substrate. Paper presents microstructure of the TiOx layer formed on titanium surface in fluidized bed reactor. In order to evaluate thickness, microstructure and Ti:O concentration ratio X-ray diffraction, Confocal Raman microspectroscopy methods are realized. Methods enables to define every type of TiOx structure simultaneously including rutile which dominates in investigated layers.
