Abstract

Metallic biomaterials are widely used in implantable medical devices by virtue of their outstanding mechanical properties. The in vivo performance of metallic implants is closely related to their surface characteristics. Therefore, a myriad of surface modification methods have been employed to improve their biocompatibility and expand their functionality. This section presents an overview of the different techniques used to prepare coatings and thin films on metallic implants and the various aspects of their properties.
