ADHESION AND MORPHOLOGY OF FIBROBLASTIC CELLS CULTURED ON DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON (DLC)-COATED AND UNCOATED Ti-13Nb-13Zr
نویسنده
چکیده
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited on Ti alloy (Ti-13Nb-13Zr) substrates using the plasma immersion process. The plasma immersion process, unlike the conventional techniques, allows the deposition of DLC on three-dimensional workpieces with high adhesion. We quantitatively evaluated the adhesion of fibroblasts on DLCcoated and uncoated Ti alloy at 2 h. Comparisons between sample groups were made using one-factor ANOVA and the Tukey test was used to determine statistical significance at p<0.05. After incubation of fibroblasts (Vero cells) on DLC-coated and uncoated Ti alloy for 24 h, the cells were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our results suggest that cells adhere better in DLC-coated Ti alloy than in uncoated Ti alloy. .
