    Abstract

    Titanium oxide layers were synthesized on titanium using direct current (DC) plasma oxidation. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the titanium oxide layers have both the rutile and annatase structures. Nano-hardness test, pin-on-disc wear experiment, scratch adhesion test and platelet adhesion investigation were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties and blood compatibility of the titanium oxide layers. The results indicate that titanium oxide layers fabricated by this method have good blood compatibility and mechanical properties.
