## Abstract Nickel titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys have been investigated for several years with regard to biomedical applications. However, little is known about the influences of surface modifications on the biocompatibility of these alloys. The effects of a range of surface treatments were i

Sterilization is required for using any device in contact with the human body. Numerous authors have studied device properties after sterilization and reported on bulk and surface modifications of many materials after processing. These surface modifications may in turn influence device biocompatibil
The paper addresses NiTi alloy sputtering by 9 keV He and Ar ions and discusses the experiment performed by V.S. Chernysh et al. about 10 years ago. The binary collision simulation has been applied to extract the concentrations of surface Ni and Ti atoms from the experimental data. The results of si
## Abstract As a nonβlineβofβsight surface modification technique, chemical treatment is an effective method to treat porous NiTi with complex surface morphologies and large exposed areas due to its liquidity and low temperature. In the work described here, three different chemical processes are us
## Abstract In this study, the oxidation of the surface of a 50/50 (at.%) NiTi alloy was studied by XPS, AES and SEM. Samples of the NiTi alloy were oxidized at 23Β°C and high temperatures at an oxygen pressure of 10^β4^ Torr and in atmosphere. At 10^β4^ Torr of O~2~ and 23Β°C, titanium was oxidized
