Cristiana Alves developed skills in coatings production technology by Physical Vapour Deposition and surface modification by anodisation process. Her research activity is focused on the development of new bioactive and functional coating for dental implants. er main challenge is associating to the development of bioactive surfaces for Ti-base dental implants by chemically modifying their surface through the deposition of more bioactive Ta-based coatings by magnetron sputtering and inducing a multilevel porosity on the surface with resource to either the use of pre-processed microporous substrates or nanopatterning the top coatings by anodization process which can enable the development of new material concepts at the nanosize level. |
