Hardcover. This book focuses on a promising achievement of biomaterials engineering: surface modifications of titanium and its alloys, including change in surface topography, formation of subsurface layers, and deposition of coating.This book: Describes titanium and its alloys and applied surface treatment approaches. Demonstrates electropolishing and anodization of titanium biomaterials, the formation of composite layers by micro-arc oxidation in electrolytes of different compositions, and laser-made surface modification. Details coatings based on nanohydroxyapatite, chitosan, bioactive glasses, polyetherketone, oils, and other natural polymers, with a separate chapter focused on the thermal stability of hydroxyapatite coatings. Discusses adhesion and cohesion strengths, important because of the high mechanical stresses imposed on titanium implants. Considers the biological behavior of modified surfaces regarding bioactivity, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial efficiency, as well as the phenomenon of biofilm formation and possible countermeasures.Authored by world-renowned researchers, this book provides readers working in biomaterials, biomedical, and chemical engineering, as well as medicine, with the most important developments and practical applications in titanium surface modifications. This book focuses on a promising achievement of biomaterials engineering: surface modifications of titanium and its alloys, including change in surface topography, formation of subsurface layers and deposition of coating.

About the Author
Andrzej S. Zieliński earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, in 1976. He became Dr hab. (D.Sc.) in Technical Sciences, Materials Science and Engineering (Physical Chemistry of Metals), at the Military Technical Academy, Warsaw, Poland, in 1990. He is Professor Emeritus at Gdansk University of Technology, where he served as Professor for many years.
Tomasz Moskalewicz is Professor of Materials Science, Head of the Interfaculty Laboratory of Transmission Electron Microscopy, and leader of the Design and Development of Coatings for Biomedical Applications group in the Department of Surface Engineering & Materials Characterization, Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science, AGH University of Krakow, Poland. He received his Ph.D. (2001) and his Habilitation (2012) from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland).
Aldo R. Boccaccini is Professor of Biomaterials and Head of the Institute of Biomaterials at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Until October 2009 he was a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, UK, Department of Materials, where he is now a Visiting Professor. Prof. Boccaccini holds an MSc (Nuclear Engineering) from Instituto Balseiro (Argentina), a PhD (Dr-Ing.) from Aachen University of Technology (Germany), and a Habilitation from Ilmenau University of Technology (Germany).
