Hemocompatible fi lms can be obtained by different techniques which must produce a smooth surface and a desired combination of crystal structure including rutile and anatase structures. Two of the simplest techniques include sol-gel and anodic oxidation. The characteristics of the fi lms associated with the process variables are presented. The most important characteristics of the fi lms are thickness, structure, roughness, and mechanical properties such as adhesion and wear resistance
