Various types of metal implants, both in Poland and worldwide, are mainly manufactured from stainless steel due to their biocompatibility, strength, and relatively low price. However, any such procedure involves the risk of peri-implant infection, stimulated, among other things, by the formation of a bacterial biofilm on the surface of the implant. In this paper, several methods of modifying the surface of steel for medical applications were proposed, such as mechanical polishing, electropolishing, sandblasting, and the application of a thin surface layer. This was followed by a series of physicochemical and biological tests. The results indicate that the titanium nitride coating improved corrosion resistance and reduced bacterial adhesion on the surface. No significant improvement in abrasion was observed, and the adhesion of the coating closely depended on the method of preparation.

Implanty metalowe, zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie, produkowane są głównie ze stali nierdzewnej ze względu na jej biokompatybilność, wytrzymałość i stosunkowo niską cenę. Jednak każdy tego rodzaju zabieg wiąże się z ryzykiem powstania zakażenia okołowszczepowego, stymulowanego m.in. powstawaniem biofilmu bakteryjnego na powierzchni implantu. W pracy zaproponowano kilka metod modyfikacji powierzchni stali do zastosowań medycznych, takich jak polerowanie mechaniczne, elektropolerowanie, piaskowanie oraz nałożenie cienkiej warstwy powierzchniowej. Następnie przeprowadzono szereg badań fizykochemicznych i biologicznych. Wyniki wskazują, że powłoka azotku tytanu poprawiła odporność na korozję oraz ograniczyła adhezję bakterii na powierzchni. Nie zaobserwowano znaczącej poprawy ścieralności, a adhezja powłoki ściśle zależała od metody jej przygotowania.

The research describes an atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating method and its application on a new generation of titanium alloy (Ti13Nb13Zr) for biomedical applications. The study aimed to assess the physicochemical properties and mechanics of a titanium alloy coated with titanium oxide (TiO2) or aluminium oxide (Al2O3) using the ALD method. The physicochemical properties of the surface coatings were evaluated through microscopic observations, potentiodynamic tests, surface wettability tests, optical profilometry scratch tests, and abrasion tests. Based on the data obtained, different physicochemical properties of the alloy with titanium nitride and titanium oxide coatings were found. Such differences were dependent on the number of cycles used and the temperature of the manufacturing process. The coatings have reduced the abrasion coefficient, thus improving the abrasion resistance of the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy, which enables their use within the skeletal system. These findings are of practical importance for applying this type of surface modification to various types of miniaturised implants used in the skeletal system.

Badania polegają na opisaniu metody osadzania powłok atomowych i możliwości jej zastosowania na stopie tytanu nowej generacji do zastosowań biomedycznych. Celem pracy jest ocena wpływu właściwości fizyko chemicznych i mechanicznych zmodyfikowanego stopu Ti13Nb13Zr powłoką tlenku tytanu (TiO2) oraz tlenku glinu (Al2O3) przy użyciu metody ALD. W ramach oceny własności fizykochemicznych tak powstałych powłok powierzchniowych przeprowadzono obserwacje mikroskopowe (SEM), badania potencjodynamiczne, badania zwilżalności powierzchni, profilometrię optyczną, scratch test oraz badania ścieralności powłok. Na podstawie uzyskanych danych stwierdzono zróżnicowane własności fizykochemiczne stopu z powłokami tlenku glinu oraz tlenku tytanu w zależności od zastosowanej ilości cykli oraz temperatury procesu wytwarzania. Powłoki mają obniżony współczynnik ścieralności, poprawiając tym samym odporność na ścieranie stopu Ti13Nb13Zr, co umożliwia ich zastosowanie w układzie kostnym. Uzyskana na tej podstawie wiedza ma znaczenie praktyczne dla zastosowania tego typu modyfikacji powierzchni dla różnych rodzajów zminiaturyzowanych implantów znajdujących swoje zastosowanie w układzie kostnym.

Additive techniques in dog orthopedics has recently emerged as a valuable approach in fabricating individualized implants for receiver-specific needs. The scaffolds made by 3D printing are used to replaces bones damaged by injuries sustained in accidents, tumour resections and defects resulting from disease e.g. osteoporosis. In this way can promote the growth and reconstruction of bone defects structure. These implants should have the right properties to ensure the right conditions for bone fusion. It is also important to determine the time of degradation, which is associated with a significant loss of mechanical properties.

The constantly growing need for the use of implants in osteotomy is mainly due to the aging population and the need for long-term use of this type of biomaterials. Improving implant materials requires the selection of appropriate functional properties. Currently used titanium (Ti) alloys, such as Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7Nb, are being replaced by materials with better biocompatibility, such as vanadium(V) or niobium (Nb), allowing for creation of the so-called new generation alloys. These new alloys, with the incorporation of zirconium (Zr), iron, and tantalum, possess Young’s modulus close to that of a bone, which further improves the improves the biomaterial’s. biocompatibility. This article describes the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method and its possible applications in the new generation of titanium alloys for biomedical applications. Also, the exemplary results of tin oxide (SnO2) thin coatings deposited by ALD and physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods are presented. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of a Ti13Nb13Zr alloy used for elements in the skeletal system. As the temperature and the number of cycles vary, the results demonstrate that the surface area of the samples changes. The uncoated Ti13Nb13Zr alloy exhibits hydrophilic properties. However, all coated specimens improve in this respect and provide improved clinical results. after the applied modification, the samples have a smaller contact angle, but still remain in the range of 0–90°, which makes it possible to conclude that their nature remains hydrophilic. Coating the specimens decreased the mineralization risk of postoperative complications. As a result, the biomaterials demonstrated improved effectiveness, decreased complication indicators, and improved patient well-being.

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of long term exposure to Ringer’s solution of biodegradable polymer coatings containing an active substance on the Ti6Al7Nb alloy substrate on the physical and chemical properties of the coatings and the degradation process of the metal substrate. The studies used poly(L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate) P(L/TMC), poly(L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate-glycolide) P(L/TMC/G) and poly(D,L-lactide-glycolide) (PLGA) coatings applied to the anodically oxidized Ti6Al7Nb alloy by means of dipping method (1, 2 and 3 dips). The polymer coatings contained ciprofloxacin. Roughness and wettability tests were carried out on the substrate and polymer coatings, the pitting corrosion resistance of the substrate and samples with polymer coating was determined, the number of metallic ions released to the solution from the coated and uncoated samples was determined as well as the adhesion of polymer coatings. The research was supplemented by microscopic observations. The results of the research indicate different influence of exposure to Ringer’s solution on the physical and chemical properties of biodegradable polymer coatings containing ciprofloxacin and the course of the degradation process of the metal substrate.
