The aim of this work is to modify the Ti6A14V titanium alloy by deposition of TiO2 thin films (with and without calcium) and apatite. The presence of apatite, including hydroxyapatite (HA), in implant materials is important since it is the main mineral component of the bone. It plays an important role on biomineralization, namely: the bioactivity and reabsorption of apatites induce a specific biological response on the interface with the living tissue which allows a chemical bond formation. Such chemical bond is fundamental on osseointegration activation, connection between neoformed bone and implant's surface and ensuring a good mechanical anchorage. This anchorage also depends on micromorphological surface structure. In this work, the mentioned alloy's surface modification was performed by chemical treatment followed by TiO2 thin film deposition, with and without calcium and apatite, by sol-gel method combined to dip coating technique (immersion). After each deposition, the materials were treated under temperatures previously established based on results of thermogravimetry combined with differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) of both precursors. Then, the surface were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X ray diffractometry (DRX) and also Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Adhesion tests in the films were performed by pull off technique. Electrochemical methods (polarization curves) were applied in order to evaluate the behavior of the surfaces under corrosion in balanced saline Hank's solution. Finally, cytotoxicity tests were done based on cellular viability of L929 fibroblasts arranged in contact with the modified surfaces. As a comparison standard, the preparation and the tests were also performed in Ti c.p. (commercially pure titanium). This project brought several challenges, such as the materials synthesis and applications test. The synthesis results show that it was possible to obtain TiO2 with...
