Surface modification of titanium in the nanometrical range was performed in order to improve both the biocompatibility and the corrosion resistance in the biological media. The presence of anatase and the incorporation of phosphate to the surface film was determined, while the electronic properties of the surface oxide presented a carrier number adequate for biomedical applications.
