Low Temperature Plasma Treatment and Its Effects on Titanium

Tacie Savannah Telesky
Low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment of biomaterials has been suspected to enhance biocompatibility and exhibit sterilization potential. In collaboration with an implant company, our efforts involve treating samples with a LTP jet. Changes in the surface morphology and chemical composition from LTP will then be investigated. If data provides confirmatory evidence of a cleaning effect or enhanced biocompatibility, LTP treatments could surface as a fast and cost-effective way to improve industries’ current biomaterials.
