Correlation between structural and bioactive properties of titanium dioxide formed by atomic layer deposition

Bioactive materials are of great interest due to a strong bond between bioactive surface and bone material. Materials and techniques, used for pretreatment of implant surfaces, have a number of considerable disadvantages. Bioactive thin films, grown by Atomic Layer Deposition, can solve a number of problems of pretreatment, increase the quality and lifetime of implant. The article describes a structural approach to theoretical prediction of bioactive materials as well as experiments performed on new bioactive TiO2 surfaces with a different crystalline structure.
