Biological characteristics of the MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells on composite tantalum carbide/amorphous carbon films.
Tantalum (Ta) is a promising metal for biomedical implants or implant coating for orthopedic and dental applications because of its excellent corrosion resistance, fracture toughness, and biocompatibility. This study synthesizes biocompatible tantalum carbide (TaC) and TaC/amorphous carbon (a-C) coa...
