Physical and Chemical Vapor Deposition and Plasma-assisted Techniques for Coating Titanium

  • Chapter
Titanium in Medicine

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Bioengineering solves problems that confront health professionals in daily practice. Medically-related technical challenges range from complex large-scale diagnostic or managing tools such as NMR tomography and laboratory medicine or hospital information systems, to the design and development of implant devices and materials in a wide range of applications from artificial cardiac valves to plates, screws and joints in orthopaedic or cranio-maxillofacial surgery.
