Abstract

Structure characteristics of titanium oxide layer on titanium matrix were investigated by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray diffraction. It has been identified that the titanium oxide layers had rutile structure. The blood compatibility of the titanium oxide layers of different thickness was studied by blood clotting time measurement. It was shown that as the thickness of the titanium oxide layers increased, blood compatibility of these layers was obviously improved.
