Surface Modification of Cobalt Chromium Alloy via Phosphonic Acid Organic Nanosized Thin Films

Year: 2011

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: To address critical challenges with the use of Co-Cr alloy, a common metal alloy used in biomedical applications we demonstrated the formation of phosphonic acid organic nanosized thins films on Co-Cr alloy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) determined the surface atomic composition before and after film deposition. The presence of phosphorous 'P' after deposition indicated presence of organic film formation. Similarly, changes in surface hydrophobicity as indicated by contact angle measurements suggested organic thin film formation.
