title: Blood compatibility of amorphous titanium oxide films synthesized by ion beam enhanced deposition.
abstract: Titanium oxide films were synthesized on titanium, cobalt alloy and low-temperature isotropic pryolytic carbon by ion beam enhanced deposition. The non-stoichiometrical titanium oxide films were obtained. Blood compatibility of the films were evaluated by clotting time measurement, platelet adhesion investigation and hemolysis analyses. The results revealed that blood compatibility of the materials was improved by the coating of titanium oxide films. Semiconductor nature of non-stoichiometric titanium oxide films might be responsible for the improvement of blood compatibility.
