The effect of substrate roughness on the surface structure of TiO(2), SiO(2), and doped thin films prepared by the sol-gel method.
Pure and calcium-doped silica and titanium dioxide thin films were prepared by the sol-gel method. Two different metallic substrates, i.e. stainless steel (316L) and titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), were used for thin film deposition. Physicochemical properties and roughness of the thin films derived were investigated using the Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and Taylor-Hobson's surface analyser. It is suggested that the synthesized coatings display physicochemical and surface properties suitable for materials used for implant.
