“…Various procedures including PVD coatings (TiN, TiC), ion implantation (N + ), thermal treatments (nitriding, diffusion, and hardening), and laser alloying with TiC have been suggested. Ion implantation is one of the common methods [40,41] that has been shown to result in either little or substantial improvement in the sliding wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V, though there have been consistent reports about improvement in the wear resistance to abrasion [39]. While surface treatments have been shown to produce a harder layer composed of various oxides to improve lubrication, no long-term data are yet available.…”

“…However, titanium has low wear and abrasion resistance because of its low hardness, as summarized in Table 4 [35]. The relatively poor tribological properties have spurred the development of surface treatments to enhance the hardness and abrasive wear resistance [36][37][38][39][40]. Various procedures including PVD coatings (TiN, TiC), ion implantation (N + ), thermal treatments (nitriding, diffusion, and hardening), and laser alloying with TiC have been suggested.…”

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical devices and components, especially as hard tissue replacements as well as in cardiac and cardiovascular applications, because of their desirable properties, such as relatively low modulus, good fatigue strength, formability, machinability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, titanium and its alloys cannot meet all of the clinical requirements. Therefore, in order to improve the biological, chemical, and mechanical properties, surface modification is often performed. This article reviews the various surface modification technologies pertaining to titanium and titanium alloys including mechanical treatment, thermal spraying, sol-gel, chemical and electrochemical treatment, and ion implantation from the perspective of biomedical engineering. Recent work has shown that the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological properties of titanium and titanium alloys can be improved selectively using the appropriate surface treatment techniques while the desirable bulk attributes of the materials are retained. The proper surface treatment expands the use of titanium and titanium alloys in the biomedical fields. Some of the recent applications are also discussed in this paper. #

“…In order to enhance the tribological properties as well as wear resistance of the metallic components in the artificial joints, various procedures have been suggested including ion implantation, plasma coating, and plasmagrafting [157][158][159]. Ion implantation has been the most common treatment method [106,158,160]. The improvement in the sliding wear resistance of the implanted materials can turn out to be either little or substantial, but that in wear resistance is more consistent [157].…”

Plasma-surface modification (PSM) is an effective and economical surface treatment technique for many materials and of growing interests in biomedical engineering. This article reviews the various common plasma techniques and experimental methods as applied to biomedical materials research, such as plasma sputtering and etching, plasma implantation, plasma deposition, plasma polymerization, laser plasma deposition, plasma spraying, and so on. The unique advantage of plasma modification is that the surface properties and biocompatibility can be enhanced selectively while the bulk attributes of the materials remain unchanged. Existing materials can, thus, be used and needs for new classes of materials may be obviated thereby shortening the time to develop novel and better biomedical devices. Recent work has spurred a number of very interesting applications in the biomedical field. This review article concentrates upon the current status of these techniques, new applications, and achievements pertaining to biomedical materials research. Examples described include hard tissue replacements, blood contacting prostheses, ophthalmic devices, and other products. #

“…Ion implantation, a method of increasing the wear and corrosion resistance of metal alloys [7][8][9], has been used in clinical applications to improve the wear characteristics [8,9]. This technique has recently also been shown to improve the wear and friction properties of polymers when applied to ultra high-molecular weight polyethylene [10]. However, before new surface treatment techniques of biomedical materials are introduced the tissue response to such surface-modified implants must be evaluated.…”

Nitrogen-ion implantation is a surface modification of interest for biomedical materials. In this study screw-shaped commercially pure titanium and Ti6AI4V alloy implants were nitrogen-ion implanted and analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The surface topography was essentially similar for treated and non-treated samples. AES survey spectra showed an incorporation of nitrogen into the surface of the nitrogen-ion treated commercially pure titanium and Ti6AI4V implants, as judged by the ratio between the intensities of the peaks at 390 and 420 eV. AES depth profiles revealed a similar oxide thickness (7.5 nm) for the nitrogen-ion implanted and the non-treated samples. In nitrogen-ion implanted screws nitrogen was detected up to depths of about 150 nm below the surface, with a maximum nitrogen concentration at about 50 nm. Light microscopic examination of the 10 pm-thick ground sections 3 months after the insertion of nitrogen-ion implanted and non-treated commercially pure titanium and Ti6AI4V screws in the proximal tibial methaphysis of rabbits showed that bone filled a large portion of the area within the threads. A fibrous capsule was not observed. Light microscopic morphometry did not reveal any statistically significant differences in bone metal contact or bone area within the threads of nitrogen-ion treated and non-treated implants. The "mirror-image" analysis showed that for all implants examined significantly more bone was present immediately outside than inside the threads. The results from this study indicate that nitrogen-ion implanted, screw-shaped, commercially pure titanium and Ti6AI4V implants heal as well in cortical bone as non-treated samples.
