title = "The funcionalization of grade 4 surface used for blood contacting implants",
abstract = "The aim of this study was to evaluate selected functional qualities of pure titanium with modified surface which could be used for implants improvement. Modified titanium surface with various advanced engineering methods is widely used for example for heart valve prostheses [1], implantable rotary blood pumps [2] or surgical tools for implantation procedures. Pure titanium Grade 4 was selected for this research purposes and it was subjected to following surface modifications: electrochemical polishing and application of TiO2 film by ALD method. In order to assess the usability of proposed application technology, the examination of electrochemical properties has been conducted. Obtained results showed that the applied TiO2 layer in comparison to pure titanium has the positive effect on analysed properties. It can be also stated that the layer{\textquoteright}s thickness, thereby the number of application cycles, had an impact on the obtained results. In addition, proper conditions{\textquoteright} selection of surface layers deposition had a crucial influence on the final form of the obtained layer.",
