## Abstract Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical devices and components, especially as hard tissue replacements as well as in cardiac and cardiovascular applications, because of their desirable properties, such as relatively low modulus, good fatigue strength, formability, mac

Polyethylene (PE) film was implanted with 1000-keV Ar / ions to a fluence of 5 1 10 14 ions/cm 2 under high vacuum conditions (2.5 1 10 06 torr) and the film surface was investigated by means of microhardness and microwear measurements, and FTIR/ATR, Raman, and XPS techniques. Ion implantation signi
Polyethylene samples implanted with 150 keV F+ ions to the doses 1011-1015 cm-' were doped with iodine by exposing them to iodine vapors a t 90°C for 3 h. The iodine depth profiles, measured by Rutherford back-scattering techniques, evolve dramatically with increasing implanted doses, from "bumpy" p
The properties and the structure of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) implanted with 150 keV Sb+ ions to the fluences of 1 x 1O"~l x 10'5cm-2 were studied using IR, UV-VIS spectroscopies and Rutherford back-scattering (RBS). The polymer surface layer 160G200nm thick was affected by ion implantation.
Studies are described involving effects of noble-metal ion implantation on corrosion inhibition and charge-injection capabilities of surgical Ti-6A1-4V alloy. A major factor linked to excellent long-term biological performance is resistance to metal-ion release to tissues. The elements most resistan
