Bone Cell Response to Ion Implanted Silicon Wafers

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of preliminary investigations on the electrokinetic characterization and osteoblast morphology of ion implanted silicon wafers are presented. The goal of this study is to modify the surface of a material via ion implantation to control cellular interactions at the prosthesis-body interface.
