摘要: Abstract Titanium is known as a biocompatible metal characterized by biological and corrosion immunity good mechanical properties, including high fracture toughness. In variety of environments, this undergoes “natural” oxidation which determine its resistance to corrosion. It can also be exposed chemical treatments in acidic or alkaline solutions “enforces” morphological changes Ti surface. Those methods, if well controlled, may increase the effective surface area, making it more biocompatible. However, factors responsible for their interactions with cells are still not known. The aim work was compare introduced commonly used aqueous NaOH pretreatment those occurring new “piranha” solution. Particular attention paid possible decisive biocompatibility Ti-elements subjected these modifications. Surface analytical techniques such Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) X-ray photoelectron (XPS) combined Ar + ion sputtering allowed us investigate detail composition oxide layers. SEM examinations provided characterization samples. results revealed large difference morphology surfaces pretreated different procedures whereas only minor chemistry were detected.
