ABSTRACT
The superior properties of Titanium and its alloys are proven to be potentially very excellent metallic alloys for load bearing bioimplant plications. Unfortunately, these alloys have some disadvantages. Like most metals, Titanium and its alloys exhibit poor osteoinductive properties because of their bioinert fe . They do not bond to bone at early stage of implantation and these materials undergo electrochemical exchange and release metallic ions in the physiological environment which is believed to the cause of implant failure. Therefore, surface modification of titanium and its alloys is essential preconditions for the success of Titanium alloy as biomaterial implants.
Among various conventional methods for surface modific ion such as physical and chemical vapor deposition, as well as sol–gel processes, anodic oxidation treatment is attracting interest of fabricating oxide coating on Ti um and its alloys. It is a novel modifying method that also called by micro-arc oxidation (MAO), plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), micro plasma oxidation (MPO) or anodic spark deposition (ASD).
This study will be aimed at evaluating morphological and crystalline structures of anodic and hydrothermal Titanium oxide TiO2 thin films formed on Ti6Al4V alloy in a mixture of glycerophosphate disodium salt (GP) and calcium acetate (CA) solution at various forming environments such as CA molarities (0.15, 0.30 and 0.45M), applied voltage (240~340 V) and processing time (5 and 10 min).
The Anodic oxide films TiO2 then will be hydrothermally treated using an autoclave (ILSHIN Autoclave, Korea) at temperature of 300 C and pressure of 9 MPa for 2 hours. Morphological surface will be observed using a scanning electron microscope (JSM-5900, JEOL, Japan) and the crystal structure will also be characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (Dmax III-A type, Rigaku Co., Japan) wi scanning rate 4 /min. While chemical composition will be analyzed using energy disp e spectroscopy (EDS) in conjunction with the scanning electron microscope.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
a. Reinstatement of the role of the natural joint
Biomaterial is a nonviable material used in medical de intended to interact with
biological systems for the purpose of improving health. A more recent consensus definition of a
biomaterial excludes the words “nonviable” due to the d lopment of tissue-engineered
scaffolds and hybrid prosthetics in which living cell are combined with nonorganic material [1].
The characteristic of a biomaterial must be controlled under very tight conditions to ensure
its mechanical, chemical and bioactivity integrities to avoid any post implantation failures. As
shown in Figure 1.1, the failure of biomaterials made o a stainless steel 316L. The human body
is a hostile environment, any foreign object including mplant device will be attacked and
attempted to be isolated. An implanted biomaterial in he human body is also must be subjected
to a continuous flexural and torsion stresses associated with cardiac activity, body movement and
patient anatomy which directly affect its integrity. As a result, few biomaterials are accepted
clinically including ceramic, polymer and metal. Although a material exhibits an excellent
mechanical property, the device often is negated by its incompatibility with the tissue with which
it will be in contact. The compatibility is the first consideration of material scientists who always
consider for a new candidate biomaterial.
Therefore, to be used as an implant, a biomaterial must exhibit excellent properties. For an
artificial hip implant as an example, many researchers have identified some basic required
properties including;
The mobility of the joint and the capability of load transferring must be returned, as
closed as possible, to that of healthy. The prosthesis must be able to withstand the large and
variable stresses that occur in situ, ensuring that the stress distribution and load transfer through
the implant material, and cement mantle, are predictable and surgeon independent.

c. Sufficient mechanical properties
d. Ease of fabrication
e. Ease of implantation and explantation
f. Economic advantages
Biocompatibility has been defined as “the ability of a aterial to perform with an
appropriate host response in a specific application” [4,5]. In other words, it means that the
material or any leachable products from it, must not c cell death, chronic, inflammation, or
other impairment of cellular functions.
High fatigue strength and toughness are important for moral stems as the shafts are
stressed in cyclic bending and torsion. Hence fatigue s the most likely form of failure in these
components. The implant must be resistant to fatigue i aggressive environments, preventing
stress corrosion cracking as well as corrosion fatigue.
Although production costs should not be an issue in th maintenance of human life, high
production costs or difficult manufacture routes would price the implant components
unacceptably high, and thus suitable materials with correspondingly suitable manufacturing
routes are necessary.
A wide variety of intricate component shapes and sizes be readily implantable and
explantable. This last requirement is the subject of some debates as there are two schools of
thought on whether the prostheses should be cemented o cementless, with fashion or surgeon
preference often dictating the type f joint implanted.
Economic advantage and issue are the last property required in artificial hip implants.
On the titanium alloys, there are seven possible types oxide film formed. They include
amorphous oxide, cubic titanium oxide (TiO), hexagonal titanium sesquioxide (Ti2O3), tetragonal
titanium dioxide (anatase), orthorhombic TiO2 (brookite), tetragonal TiO2 (rutile) and non-
• •
stoichiometric oxides (TixOy).
TiO2 thin film is very important to be used in titanium and its alloys for biomaterial
implants because of its excellent mechanical and chemi al stability as well as good insulating
properties. It demonstrates promising in vivo corrosion behavior acting as chemical barrier in
ambient conditions against release of metal ions from t implant. The surface titanium oxide
determines the diffusion rate calcium and phosphate on the implant-tissue interface. Generally,
its corrosion resistance increases with increasing the ide coating. Thus, biocompatibility of
titanium and its alloys depends on their corrosion resistance. The TiO2 film also improves wear
resistant which is suitable for load-bearing application of the metal.
Among various conventional methods such as physical an chemical vapor deposition,
as well as sol–gel processes, anodic oxidation treatment is attracting interest of fabricating oxide
coating on titanium and its alloys. It is a novel modi ying method that also called by micro-arc
oxidation (MAO), plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), microplasma oxidation (MPO) or anodic
spark deposition (ASD).
In this method, when a positive voltage is applied to Ti specimen immersed in an
electrolyte, anodic oxidation of Ti occurs to form a TiO2 layer on the surface. When the applied
voltage is increased to a certain point, a micro-arc o urs because of the dielectric breakdown of
the TiO2 layer. At that moment, the Ti ions in the substrate an the OH ions in the electrolyte
move in opposite directions very fast to again form TiO2.
The anodic oxidation method has some advantages, such s its capability of fabricating
porous, changeable of crystalline structure and chemic composition of oxide films depending
on the fabrication environment [6,7]. The formed oxide lm has a relatively high interfacial
bonding strength because of momentary anodic spark gene ed during anodic oxidation
treatment. This method is also suitable for coating various substrates with complex geometries.
In addition, it is the simplest and cost effectively am ng the different methods [8,9].
The characteristic of the oxide coating mostly is affe ed by the fabrication parameters,
such as electrolyte solution, applied electrical potential and current density. A basic requirement
• •
for electrolyte is that is should not be aggressive towards the growing oxide and not generate any
dissolution during the process. The electrolyte must e the oxide growth rate is higher than
the dissolution one. The most commonly used electrolyte in titanium anodizing are phosphoric
and sulphuric acid, ammonium sulphate or sodium bicarbonate and solution containing fluoride
ions [10].
There are a few studies that reported the effect of a her applied voltages as well as the
individual role of calcium acetate on the morphology a crystalline structure of anodic oxide
film. Moreover, the characteristics of the precipitated apatite crystals, such as the size, shape,
number and the distribution during hydrothermal treatme ave not been fully understood.
This research focuses on the investigation of the anodic and hydrothermal TiO2 thin film
characteristics formed on the Ti6Al4V alloy surface in a phosphate and calcium containing
electrolyte under different voltage and calcium molarity. The morphology and the crystalline
structure both on the anodic and thermally treated surfaces oxide film were evaluated.

CHAPTER II
STUDY OF REFERENCES
Metallic implant material for artificial hip has been wn and applied for a long time
ago. In 1923, Marius Smith-Petersen attempted to produ a cup arthroplasty using material such
as glass, celluloid resin and a Co-Cr alloy [11]. Co-Cr alloy then was chosen for half joint
arthroplasty since it provided a stiffer and harder material than methylmethacrylate. Stainless
steel then was discovered by Philip Wiles in 1938 as a useful metallic implant for total hip
replacement components. In the late 1980s, Ti-6Al-7Nb oy that improves clearance, metal
hardness and reproducible surface was introduced by Sulzer Brothers [12,13]. Then, the
development and the utilization of these metallic impl nts have grown sharply. However, Ti-6Al-
4V has been adopted as an implant biomaterial. It is preferred to stainless steel and Co-alloys
because of its lower modulus, superior biocompatibility nd corrosion resistance.
Recently, new titanium alloy compositions, specificall tailored for biomedical
applications, have been developed. The first generatio orthopedic alloys include Ti-6Al-7Nb,
Ti-5Al-2.5Fe and Ti-34Nb-7Zr-5Ta were developed in response to concerns relating to potential
cytotoxicity and adverse reaction with body tissues [14-15].
Table 1.1 shows the comparison between the three main o metallic biomaterials for
utilizing in othopaedic implants [16]. Biocompatibilit , mechanical properties and corrosion
resistance are the main requirements of their applications. Interestingly, the cost is not an
important issue of the cobalt and titanium base alloys hose in the stainless steel.
The superior properties of titanium and its alloys are proven to be potentially very
excellent metallic alloys for load bearing bioimplant pplications. Unfortunately, these alloys
have some disadvantages. Like most metals, titanium and its alloys exhibit poor osteoinductive
properties because of their bioinert feature [17]. They do not bond to bone at early stage of
implantation [18] and these materials undergo electroc l exchange and release metallic
ions in the physiological environment which is believe to the cause of implant failure [19].
• • • •
Therefore, surface modification of titanium and its al is essential preconditions for the
success of titanium alloy as biomaterial implants.
Table 1.2. shows further comparison of the three alloy in term of their mechanical
properties required in British standards for biomateri ls [20]. Although the porous parts are
mainly in compression, the orthopedic industry appears accept the capacity of the
wrought/cast materials to withstand the generated stre es, and hence all the material
recommendations specify the tensile requirements.
Table1.3. shows the strength levels and elastic moduli for orthopedic alloys, retained at
room temperature, in a standard tensile test [21]. The has been concern about the high elastic
modulus of the alloys as compared to bone, and the variable fatigue resistance of the metallic
implant. Both properties, if not optimized, may eventu y lead to prosthesis failure through
loosening of the implant in the vicinity of the implant m [22].

Calcium and phosphate containing electrolytes have received much attention in anodic
oxidation process for fabricating oxide film on the surface of titanium and its alloys. Izhizawa et
al. recognized a precipitation of phosphoric and calcium ions, which are the main elements of
bone, on the anodic and hydrothermal oxide titanium surface [26-28]. Zhu et al. developed
• • • •
anodic oxide film that has a crystalline structure. [2 Sun et al. reported that applied voltage
and time processing are important factors to prepare hydroxyapatite at a higher voltage of the
anodic process (micro-arc-oxidation) [30]. Park et al udied that the oxide film characteristics
related to the calcium acetate concentration in the el ctrolyte [31]. J. Baszkiewicza et al. studied
that Ca and P enriched oxide layers on titanium increased their in vitro corrosion resistances
[32].
Electrolyte concentration associates to the break down voltage during anodization process
which affects the film morphologies and its crystalline cture [31,33]. Generally, phosphate
and calcium ions in the electrolyte precipitate as an atite crystals to form a thin film on the
anodic oxide on the surface of Ti alloys that can improve their biocompatibilities and could be
possibly act as a further barrier against ion diffusion. The appearance of these apatite crystals can
be generated and accelerated by hydrothermal treatment Therefore, a study on optimizing the
electrolytes that containing calcium and phosphate is very important in order to obtain a coating
with specific morphologies and crystalline phases.

EXPERIMENTAL METHOD
4.1 Specimen preparation
4.2. Electrolyte preparation
Commercial Ti6Al4V plates with a dimension of 15x10x2 m3 is cut from a 60 mm
in diameter and 6 mm thickness disc and used as substrate. All plate surfaces are grounded with
successive finer SiC abrasive papers from 400, 600, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 2000# to remove
macro-level surface defects and contamination. These mirror finish surface samples then are
ultrasonically cleaned in ethanol and rinsed in distil water to expose a fresh surface just before
the anodization process. The samples then are dried usi a hair dryer for about two minutes.
The schematic illustration of as received commercial T 6Al4V alloy disc and its extraction to
obtain the plates are shown in Fig. 3.1.
The plate substrates are used as anode that rtially immersed in the electrolyte and
connected using a crocodile clip. In order to prevent ntact between electrode and electrolyte,
within 3 mm from the top of the plates are covered with eflon sealing tape and 12 mm are
exposed in the electrolyte. Here after, the total immersed surface area of the samples in the
electrolyte was about 254 mm2.
A commercial and pure titanium plate with a dimension of 20x10x1 mm3, is
connected with a cable and used as cathode in an electrolyte bath. One surface of this plate, 200
mm2, could be exposed in the electrolyte while other is covered with acrylic. The photograph of
the titanium cathode with its connecting cable is shown in Fig. 3.2.
Electrolyte containing Ca and P is reported to de a titanium oxide film that improves
biocompatibility of titanium with bone [34]. An electrolytic solution used in this study is a
mixture of Glycerol phosphate disodium salt hydrate (GP) and Calcium acetate hydrate (CA),
SIGMA-ALDRICH USA. The photograph of these electrolyte aterials is shown in Fig. 3.3.

The electrolytes are prepared base on the study reporte by Park et al.[35]. The
electrolyte molarities and the anodizing conditions in detail are given in Table 3.1. During anodic
oxidation process, the electrolyte is maintained at room temperature and a magnetic stirrer is
used to eliminate the bubbles generated in the electrolytes.
A DC power supply device (Unicorn UP-1500, KOREA) is used in this experiment. Each
anodization process is carried out both in a constant c ent mode and in a constant voltage
mode. This device provides an automatic transition from the constant current to the constant
voltage when a preset maximum voltage is reached. The photograph of the DC power supply
used in this study is shown in Fig. 3.4.
Hydrothermal treatment is carried out to precipitate hydroxyapatite on the titanium oxide
film through a partial conversion of the amorphous laye of Ca and P [36]. After the anodizing,
the specimen is ultrasonically cleaned in distilled wate for 30 s and then dried at room
temperature. Hydrothermal treatment is conducted using n autoclave device (ILSHIN
Autoclave, KOREA), at a temperature of 300 C for 2 hours and at a pressure of 9 MPa. The
photograph of the hydrothermal device used in this study is shown in Fig. 3.5.
Surface micro-morphology of the titanium oxide films formed by anodic oxidation
treatment was observed using a scanning electron microscope (JSM-5900, JEOL, JAPAN).
X-ray diffractometer (Dmax III-A type, Rigaku Co., JAP will be used to analyze the
crystal structure of the anodized layer on the titanium surface. The scan range (2 ) is from 20 to
60 with the scanning rate 4 /min.

SEM micrographs of anodized titanium oxide films on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy substrate of
all specimens are shown in Fig. 3.2 to Fig. 3.24. These results show that TiO2 film was formed
by anodic oxidation process of all specimens. The oxide film surface morphologies are porous
like volcanic vents and rough. A porous structure of titanium biomaterial implant has been
widely reported elsewhere to have a beneficial for cel attachment, propagation and bone growth
[44]. While those a roughness surface was positively c lated to extent the contact with the
bone [55]. Process parameters such as electrolyte conc ration, applied voltage and processing
time affect the morphologies and crystalline structure he oxide films.
SEM micrographs of the specimens in Group I are shown Fig. 3.2 to Fig. 3.7,
respectively. The morphologies on the surface oxide films formed in this electrolyte
concentration are changed according to potential. When the anodization was carried out at 240 V,
titanium oxide films started to form slightly on the surface of the substrate. However, because of
the potential between anode and cathode was weak, the formation occurred locally and most of
the substrate surface has not been covered by the film. The microporous number and size on the
film were very few with irregular shaped. When the applied voltage was increased to 300 V, film
formation increased where rough oxide region expanded. The microporous in a more uniform
shape and distance were distributed to form a network long the substrate surface. When the
anodizations were conducted at 340 and 380 V, the films surface became rough and porous
where the microporous number and size increased steadily. Just above the surface film that
formed previously, a newer formation of surface film in a larger scaled of porosity occurred. This
gradual film formation made the morphology consisted of a multi level surface and caused the
increase of the roughness. Further increasing of potential to 420 and 440 V, the number of
microporous tends to be stable but the size slightly de reased. In higher magnification images,
shown in Fig.3.6 and Fig. 3.7, it can be seen that the microporous were distributed in a more
various sizes compared to those earlier formed at a lower voltages.
SEM micrographs of specimens in Group II are shown in Fig. 3.8 to Fig. 3.13. Doubling
CA concentration in the electrolyte to 0.30M changed the morphologies of the oxide film.
• • • •
Compared to the morphologies appeared earlier of the specimens in Group I, the morphologies
of the films were denser although it was formed at 240 V as it is shown in Fig. 3.8. Increasing
voltages up to 380 V, the microporous number and size increased steadily. However, above this
voltage, the morphologies did not change.
Further increasing in CA concentration to 0.45M did not change morphologies of the oxide
film. It can be seen on the SEM micrographs shown in Fig. 3.14 to Fig. 3.19 where the
morphologies are similar to those shown in Fig. 3.8 to Fig. 3.13 which are the morphologies of
oxide films formed in 0.30M-CA concentration. Interestingly, the morphologies did not change
although forming voltages was increased.
Prolong anodization processing time from 5 to 10 minut changed film morphologies as
SEM micrographs of the specimens in Group IV shown in . 3.20 to Fig. 3.25. Compared to
the morphologies obtained in Group I which anodized for 5 minutes, oxide films anodized for 10
minutes are denser with a slight larger size of porosi . These improvement possibly caused by
film formation occurred in longer time. Therefore, prolongation of anodization time is one of
important factor to obtain titanium oxide film with increased density and porosity. This process
was well known as thickening and densification during anodic oxidation. To confirm the effect of
anodization time to oxide film characteristic, further study in more various duration of time
should be carried out.
The above results demonstrated that morphologies of anodic titanium oxide films changed
when CA molarity increased from 0.15 to 0.30M, but further increasing to 0.45M, it did not
change. The increase of CA molarity decreased dielectric breakdown voltage. Within dielectric
breakdown range, the anodization voltage instabilities due to anodic spark deposition. The
decrease of electric breakdown voltages was more prono ed where CA molariy increased from
0.15 to 0.30M than from 0.30 to 0.45M. The difference the anodic forming voltages and
dielectric break down voltages demonstrated that the characteristics of the oxide films formed by
anodic oxidation differ greatly according to the electrolyte molarity that is used.
