Abstract

The development of new biomaterials is one of the most challenging tasks in the material science. They can improve the quality and length of human life. Biomaterials should have such properties that ensure implants and devices durability and thus completely avoid reoperation or increased service period. Titanium (Ti) is a suitable biomaterial because it cannot magnetise and has suitable mechanical and surface properties. The characteristics of Ti and of its alloys can be improved selectively by using proper technique of the surface processing which preserves the most useful material characteristics..

Keywords

Titanium, Biomaterials.
