Titanium nitride prepared by plasma-based titanium-ion implantation

Blood Compatibility of Titanium-Based Coatings Prepared by Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition

In this work the suitability of some Tibased coatings as coating for blood-contacting implants is analyzed. Layers of pure Ti, Ti nitride, Ti oxynitrides (TiN1-xOx with x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75) and Ti oxides were deposited from a plasma produced by cathodic arc evaporation under addition of N2 and/or O2. The oxynitrides are crystalline with the fcc structure of TiN up to x = 0.25. For x = 0.5 ...

A Review on Titanium Nitride and Titanium Carbide Single and Multilayer Coatings Deposited by Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition

In this paper, we reviewed researches about the titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbide (TiC) single and multilayer coatings. These coatings were deposited by the plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) technique. Plasma-based technologies are used for the processing of thin films and coatings for different applications such as automobile and aerospace parts, computer disc drives,...

Direct synthesis of titanium nitride by laser-plasma

Silicon-induced DNA damage pathway and its modulation by titanium plasma immersion ion implantation.

Micronuclei tests (MNT) using the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells and Chinese Hamster Ovary Mutant cells (XRS5) have been conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of silicon and titanium plasma-implanted silicon. Pure Si induces high MN ratios of the two cell lines and thus has poor biocompatibility. The MN ratio of CHO cells is higher than background by about 44% and the MN ratio of XRS5 c...

Improvement of surface bioactivity on titanium by water and hydrogen plasma immersion ion implantation.

We have investigated the surface bioactivity of titanium after water and hydrogen plasma immersion ion implantation. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) excels in the surface treatment of components possessing a complicated shape such as medical implants. In addition, water and hydrogen PIII has been extensively studied as a method to fabricate silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates in the ...
