The surface of NiTi shape memory was modified by deposition of chitosan-ZnO thin film. The electrodeposition process was carried out at room temperature at voltage-time conditions: 10 V/30 s, 10 V/300 s, 20 V/30 s, or 20 V/300 s. Structure of the obtained coatings was studied by means of grazing incidence beam X-ray diffraction. Distribution of the zinc oxide particles in the chitosan matrix was observed with use of scanning electron microscopy. It was found that depending on the electrodeposition parameters, the structure of the obtained chitosan-ZnO coatings varies from amorphous to coarse-grained.

The metal oxide layers were deposited onto the surface of NiTi shape memory alloy using sol-gel method. Single-, double- and triple-layers were obtained from a colloidal solution containing the precursor of zirconium tetrabutoxide and titanium tetrabutoxide, and annealed at 300°C for 1 h in argon. Phase composition was determined by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Surface roughness of the metal oxide layers were determined by atomic force microscopy. Surface morphology and thickness of the obtained layers were studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that all obtained layers revealed a composite structure, and were characterized by low surface roughness and thickness parameters. A homogeneous structure of the metal oxide layers deposited onto the surface of the medical NiTi alloy was ascertained only for double- and triple-layers.

The object of this work was to investigate structure, electrochemical behavior and semiconducting properties of the TiO₂ oxide layer on the Ti-15Mo implant alloy surface in normal and inflammatory conditions of physiological saline solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirm the presence of the oxide layer on the Ti-15Mo alloy surface. Electrochemical studies indicate excellent corrosion resistance of Ti-15Mo alloy in physiological saline solution. It was found that the investigated material under normal and inflammatory conditions behave like an insulator and n-type semiconductor, respectively.

Electrolytic Ni-Mo alloy coatings were obtained from the galvanic bath, at the temperature of T= 60°C under galvanostatic conditions using a cathodic current density of j= 80 mA cm¯². Surface morphology was studied using a scanning electron microscopy. Chemical composition of obtained coatings was determined by the energy dispersive spectroscopy. Structural studies were carried out using an X-ray diffraction method. Electrochemical corrosion resistance tests were carried out in 5% NaCl solution. It was found that X-ray diffraction investigations of all obtained coatings showed the characteristic "halo", which suggests that the obtained deposits have an amorphous structure. Chemical composition and corrosion resistance of the electrolytic Ni-Mo coatings depend on the concentration of Na₂MoO₄· 2H₂O in a galvanic bath. With the increase of the molybdenum content in the alloy coatings, their corrosion resistance increases.

The aim of this study was to obtain the second generation TiO₂ nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. Anodic oxidation of the alloy under study was carried out in 1 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ electrolyte under voltage-time conditions of 20 V for 120 min. The morphological parameters of the obtained nanotubes of second generation such as the length (L), internal (D_{i}) and outer (D_{o}) diameter of nanotube were determined. It was found that the anodic oxidation of the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy conducted under proposed conditions allowed to obtain the single-walled nanotubes of the following geometrical parameters: the internal diameter 61 nm, outer diameter 103 nm, and the length 3.9 μm. The total surface area of the single-walled nanotubes was equal to 4.1 μm², and the specific surface area per cm² (A_{s}) was estimated to be 15.6 cm²/cm². Formation mechanism, structure and optimal morphological parameters of the obtained single-walled nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy have been discussed in detail.
