Expertise in:
Coating development and production
Several coatings are available at production level, incl. tox-tested
Nitrides: ZrN, TiN, CrN
Low-friction coatings: Different DLCs
Oxides, e.g.: TiO2, Al2O3
Pure metals, e.g.: Ti, Ta, Cr, Cu…
Patented titan-strontium (Ti-Sr) coating facilitating accelerated bone growth. Tested and validated on rats and rabbits.
High surface area TiN for nerve stimulation
Low-friction coatings for medical applications
Looking for collaboration in the area of nerve stimulation and cell test of different coatings:
Electrodes for improved nerve stimulation through high surface area
The interaction of different cells with different coatings
Joint research proposals where DTI contributes with coatings
We foresee maximum contribution in WG1: Processing of biomaterials
Sr/Ti coating – animal testing
High surface area TiN
Low-friction dental screws
