Project abstract:

The project consists in the development of technology for creating bactericidal coatings for medical implants based on Ti-Cu-Ta and Ti-Cu-Nb obtained by magnetron sputtering. The addition of Nb and Ta is expected to increase corrosion resistance, improve tribological properties of the coatings - resistance to mechanical damage and abrasion. The coatings are expected to have balanced functional characteristics: physical-mechanical and tribological properties, as well as functional - balance between bactericidal action and toxicity.

The aim of the project is to develop a technology for creating bactericidal coatings of medical implants by magnetron sputtering on the basis of Ti-Cu-Ta and Ti-Cu-Nb for subsequent application in traumatology and orthopaedics, as well as to study their structure and physical-mechanical, corrosion properties, tribological properties, to conduct in vitro and in vivo tests to determine bactericidal and toxic properties.

Expected and achieved results of the project:

The technology for obtaining bactericidal, wear-resistant and anticorrosive coatings based on Ti-Cu-Ta and Ti-Cu-Nb will be developed. Technological recommendations for obtaining coatings will be developed. The main regularities of the process of formation and obtaining of coatings will be determined during the project implementation. A full technological cycle of research will be carried out: obtaining bactericidal coatings, studying physical and mechanical properties and structure of coatings, conducting tribological tests, in vitro and in vivo studies to determine the functional properties of coatings.

Based on the results of the experimental studies and their discussions will be published at least 3 (three) articles and (or) reviews in peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science database and (or) having a percentile on CiteScore in Scopus database not less than 35 (thirty-five); also the results will be reported in at least 7 (seven) reports at specialised international and national conferences and forums.
