Titanium (Ti) and Ti-based alloy are widely used in the biomedical field owing to their excellent mechanical compatibility and biocompatibility. However, the bioinert bioactivity and biotribological properties of titanium limit its clinical application in implants. In order to improve the biocompatibility of titanium, we modified its surface with TiO<i><sub>x</sub></i>/TiN<i><sub>x</sub></i> duplex composite films using a new method via micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and nitrogen ion implantation (NI ...[more]
