Surface modification of β-phase Ti implant by hydroaxyapatite mixed electric discharge machining to enhance the corrosion resistance and in-vitro bioactivity

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative method for surface modification of β-phase titanium alloy using hydroxyapatite mixed electric discharge machining (HAM-EDM) is presented, which enables one to deposit in-situ a biomimetic nano-porous HA-containing layer while shaping the base titanium, hence modifying the surface properties of the original substrate.

On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.

David F. Williams
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
