RESUMO

To improve the implants biocompatibility many surface modifications were proposed. Investigations about the surface modification on Ti alloys by anodic oxidation are reported. This research presents a study on the stability of thin titanium dioxide grown by potentiodynamic method on Ti6Al4V surfaces up to 5.0 V. Its bioactive surface in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and the oxide stability after immersion in artificial blood media were measured by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Hydroxyapatite (HAP) presence was evaluated using simulated body fluid (SBF) with different immersion times. The oxides and HAP presence were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The oxide stability was confirmed with low dissolution rates where the Rp was around 106Ω.cm2. The results showed the TiO2 was compact and thin oxide that could prevent the severe corrosion processes and improve in few days the physical-chemical interaction of the Ti alloys with bone in physiological media.
