23 Jul IMPLANTABLE DEVICES HAVING CERAMIC COATING APPLIED VIA AN ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION METHOD
Abstract
Substrates coated with films of a ceramic material such as aluminum oxides and titanium oxides are biocompatible, and can be used in a variety of applications in which they are implanted in a living body. The substrate is preferably a porous polymer, and may be biodegradable. An important application for the ceramic-coated substrates is as a tissue engineering scaffold for forming artificial tissue.
