Next generations of hip and knee joint endoprosthesis and dental implants will require a combination of antimicrobial and cell-adhesive properties. Plasmachemical processes have the unique potential to fulfil these contradictory requirements by suitable combinations of multi-step processes.
Physicochemical surface analyses like XPS, FTIR, contact angle, SEM, and AFM played an important role during process developments to improve understanding of the complex biointerphase. Very thin surface modification procedures are required to prevent changes in morphology of implants unalterable for healing.
An overview about the results of different plasma processes and their application in plasmamedicine will be presented.
The treatment of implants is a strong interdisciplinary field of research with growing interest regarding its applications.
