Abstract

Metals and their alloys are the basic materials using for bone implants. Unfortunately all metallic biomaterials contain an elements which may cause metallosis or corrosion, and their surface may not promote colonization by cells of the surrounding tissue. In this paper, we describe obtaining of new coating materials on commercial available steal that can work as biofunctional and well-protecting coatings for medical implants. Thin silica and titanium films were synthesis using the sol–gel method that is based on the hydrolysis of alkoxide precursors at room temperature. The results of our previous study and described in this work show possibility to synthesis by sol-gel method stable, continuous and biocompatible coating for metallic implants.
