Resumo

Surface characteristics such as roughness and contact angle of flat and nanostructured titanium samples and diamond-like carbon films (DLC) electrodeposited on the nanostructured samples were evaluated. Also, the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance of the samples were evaluated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Biocompatibility was assessed by analyzing an in vitro cell culture. Nanostructured samples presented better cell biocompatibility. DLC deposited onto nanostructured samples remained with nanostructured morphology, presented high hardness and improved corrosion resistance compared to bare titanium. The DLC films electrodeposited from acetonitrile presented higher corrosion resistance in PBS solution when compared to DLC films deposited from N,N-dimethylformamide.
