Abstract
In this work, we synthesized titanium oxide thin films containing different tantalum using magnetron sputtering to meet the challenge of enhanced biocompatibility. The structure characteristics of the films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The biological behavior of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on the film surface was investigated by in vitro cell culture. Study of cultured HUVEC onto films revealed that the growth and proliferation behavior of EC were varied significantly due to the different Ta content which resulting the characterization of films is different. The adherence, growth, shape and proliferation of EC on Ti-O film with high Ta content and smoother surface was excellent. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
