Abstract

The manufacturing of bioimplants not only involves selecting proper biomaterials with satisfactory bulk physicochemical properties, but also requires special treatments on surface chemistry or topography to direct a desired host response. The lifespan of a bioimplant is also critically restricted by its surface properties. Therefore, developing proper surface treatment technologies has become one of the research focuses in biomedical engineering. This paper covers the recent progress of surface treatment of bioimplants from the aspects of coating and topography modification. Pros and cons of various technologies are discussed with the aim of providing the most suitable method to be applied for different biomedical products. Relevant techniques to evaluate wear, corrosion and other surface properties are also reviewed.
