Project theme is the elaboration of an innovative procedure for the controlled surface processing of a new bioalloy by combining for the first time of the chemical, electrochemical and bacteriostatic methods. This project represents a scientific novelty and enlarges the interdisciplinary research areas concerning the surface science, physical chemistry and electrochemistry in accordance with the international trends of increased bioactivity of bioalloy surfaces. Main objectives are: obtaining of nanoporous, controlled surface structures for the increase of the bioactivity, antibacterial action and life time of the implants (innovative procedures); complex and complete characterization (scientific novelties) of the new nanostructured surfaces by modern world-level techniques; modelling for the first time of the interfaces: structured metallic surface/human fluids by electrochemical methods (internationally competitive) demonstrating the improved bioactivity of new processed surfaces; analysis of the bioactivity and bacteriostatic properties on new functionalized surfaces (progress in the field); increase of Romanian research capacity and performance by: patent (1), scientific papers (6). Long term objectives are: improvement of the life quality and health state of the patients by the utilisation of the new implant biomaterial with nanostructured surfaces; an efficient utilisation of the natural resources by the increase of the "service life" of the processed surfaces.
