Objective
The project is successful in its investigations and subsequent development of surface treatment techniques (ion implantation, cold plasma diffusion, PVD, PDT + PACVD) performed on 3 materials (SS, TAV, TAF) for specific biomedical applications as well as in mechanical and corrosion properties improvement.
The future of a surgical implant depends upon the stability of the tissue-material interface both for tolerance and function in a physiological environment.
To improve fatigue, corrosion-degradation, wear properties and biocompatibility of bearing surfaces in osteoarticular prostheses 3 ways are commonly used:
(i) development of new materials specifically designed for biological use;
(ii) protection with a coating of the metallic materials used in orthopaedic surgery (stainless steels, cobalt based alloys, titanium alloys);
(iii) surface modification by diffusion treatment and ion implantation.
We propose a new approach with the following objectives:
- to perform surface modifications and to optimize surface properties by means of cold plasma, advanced implantation techniques, and combination of these 2 methods
- to characterize the treated surfaces in order to understand the fine mechanisms of corrosion-degradation occurring at the bone-biomaterial interface
- to obtain information concerning the important physical and chemical properties of the implant surface and how they are affected by manufacturing techniques, placement and the in vivo solicitations
- to evaluate their biocompatibility and biofunctionality by in vitro and in vivo tests
- to choose the most suitable surface treatment contributing thus to develop more reliable and rational implant designs.
