Description

The study of e-beam evaporated Ta2O5 film structure and properties effect on cell/material response was performed. The surface properties and structure of e-beam evaporated Ta2O5 films were investigated by means of XPS and XRD methods. The cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility were estimated by in vitro tests. Films of Ta2O5 are bio- and chemically inert, which allows their use in various medical applications, e.g., in diagnostic and treatment techniques employing short-range quasi-static electric fields for stimulation of positive biological processes in live organisms
