The interest on studying the properties of Titanium dioxide is associated to its potential use in many applications from the energy to environmental and biomedical fields. In the present summary, the advances on titanium dioxide coatings produced for hemocompatible and photocatalytic applications are presented. The coating techniques consist of the sol-gel method and anodic oxidation. The research progress on nanofilms produced with these techniques are presented and discussed considering many aspects as; process parameters, morphology, roughness, crystal structure, adhesion, wear and erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, hemocompatibility, toxicity, plaque and bacterial adhesion and heterogeneous photocatalysis of immobilized porous material.
