Surface Modification of Biomedical Ti-18Zr-15Nb Alloy by Atomic Layer Deposition and Ag Nanoparticles Decoration

Superelastic biocompatible alloys attract significant attention as novel materials for bone tissue replacement. These alloys are often composed of three or more components that lead to the formation of complex oxide films on their surfaces. For practical use, it is desirable to have a single-compone...

description Superelastic biocompatible alloys attract significant attention as novel materials for bone tissue replacement. These alloys are often composed of three or more components that lead to the formation of complex oxide films on their surfaces. For practical use, it is desirable to have a single-component oxide film with a controlled thickness on the surface of biocompatible material. Herein we investigate the applicability of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique for surface modification of Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy with TiO<sub>2</sub> oxide. It was found that a 10–15 nm thick, low-crystalline TiO<sub>2</sub> oxide layer is formed by ALD method over the natural oxide film (~5 nm) of the Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy. This surface consists of TiO<sub>2</sub> exclusively without any additions of Zr or Nb oxides/suboxides. Further, the obtained coating is modified by Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with a surface concentration up to 1.6% in order to increase the material’s antibacterial activity. The resulting surface exhibits enhanced antibacterial activity with an inhibition rate of more than 75% against <i>E. coli</i> bacteria.
