Abstract

Biomedical implants have revolutionized modern medicine, providing diverse treatment options for various medical conditions. Ensuring the long-term success of certain materials used in various applications requires careful consideration of their ability to interact with biological systems and withstand harsh biological conditions. Optimizing surface properties is crucial for successfully integrating biomedical implants into the human body, ensuring biocompatibility, durability, and functionality. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) has become a crucial technology in surface engineering, offering a precise technique for applying thin films with customized properties. This article provides a comprehensive study of surface engineering for biomedical implants, specifically emphasizing the CVD coating technique. By carefully manipulating chemical reactions in the vapor phase, CVD allows for the creation of coatings that enhance wear resistance, minimize friction, and improve biocompatibility. This review also explores the underlying principles of CVD, the various process parameters involved, and the subsequent enhancements in implant performance. Using case studies and experimental findings, it showcases the ability of CVD to greatly enhance the durability and effectiveness of biomedical implants.
