To obtain smooth TiO2 coatings for building a new design of Ti-6Al-4V heart valve, the anodic oxidation technique in pre-spark conditions was evaluated. TiO2 coating is necessary for its recognized biocompatibility and ...

Titanium oxide provides biological and hemocompatible properties to different biomedical devices made of titanium or its alloys. However, since this oxide naturally has a very low thickness and low tribological performance, ...
