Description
Titanium corrosion is one of the leading causes of implant failure, and researchers are working to avoid it by surface modification using different materials. This thesis investigates the advantages of surface modification using cold atmospheric plasma and copper and polydopamine coating. Cold atmospheric plasma aids in surface modification by increasing the adhesion of polydopamine and copper. This treatment's synergistic impact served to reduce corrosion of the modified titanium surface, as stated in this thesis.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
