Abstract

With the use of the sputtering technique, carbon incorporation was carried out on TiO2 anodized with HCl. FE-SEM study revealed the formation of tubes and/or fibers nanostructures on the surface of the acquired samples. It was possible to identify the presence of carbon by vibrational modes and EDS analysis. The nanoindentation test demonstrated how the carbon-incorporated TiO2 samples improved the nanohardness and elastic modulus compared to titanium and TiO2 anodized. The presence of carbon was able to reinforce the bond of the TiO2 layer with the substrate, which improved adhesion and abrasive behavior, and in turn, reduced the friction coefficient up to 89% compared to titanium.
