Abstract
In this paper, we report on enhancing the biocompatibility properties of Hydroxyapatite-Titanium (HA-Ti) thin films fabricated using the co-sputtering method. By adjusting the HA/Ti ratio through varying the sputtering power of Ti, we obtained HA-Ti thin films with different crystal structures, morphologies, and hydrophilic properties. HA-Ti thin films sputtered at different titanium powers of 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160 W will obtain thin films with larger grain sizes and poorer crystallinity, respectively. However, their hydrophilic properties increase as the contact angle decreases from 78° to 20° degrees. In vitro BHK cell tests indicated that the HA-Ti thin film had excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, this material is suitable for biological applications and has significant potential in medical implant technology.
