Effect of Nitrogen Ion Implantation on Corrosion Resistance of Biocompatible Ti Implant

질소이온의 주입이 생체안전성 티타늄임플란트의 내식성에 미치는 영향

In this study, PSII(plasma source ion implantation) was used to improve the biocompatibility of bone-anchored Ti implant. According to potentiodynamic anodic polarization test in deaerated Hank's solution, open circuit potential of ion implanted specimens were increased compare to that of unimplanted specimen ; besides, passive current density and critical anodic current density of ion implanted specimens were lower than unimplanted specimen.
