Article Synopsis
- The study used low energy ion implantation to enhance the surface properties of Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) for better biocompatibility and bioactivity.
- Both Ca- and Ar-ions were implanted, resulting in changes to the atomic structure, surface chemistry, and hydrophobicity, as confirmed by various spectroscopy techniques.
- Cell adhesion tests showed that both ion implantations improved cell attachment, with Ca-ion implantation leading to the strongest results, indicating a positive effect on biological responses.
