Titanium (Ti)-based implants are not compatible enough due to their bio-inert character,
insufficient antibacterial capabilities and stress-shielding problem for dental and orthopaedic …

The aim of this work is to investigate wettability and antibacterial properties of the well-
ordered titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube (TNTs) surfaces on new-generation titanium–15 …

Materials used for orthopedic implants should not only have physical properties close to
those of bones, durability and biocompatibility, but should also exhibit a sufficient degree of …

The nanotubular arrays of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 NTs) have recently received considerable
interest for fabrication of dental and orthopedic implants. However, their antibacterial activity …

A structural gradient of TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTAs) on medical titanium has been
constructed by pull-stop-pull together with electrochemical anodization. The formation …

Titanium has been widely used in orthopedics and dental implants due to its excellent
biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, the surface of titanium is biologically …

The TiO2 nanotube layer was in situ synthesized on the surface of pure titanium by the
electrochemical anodic oxidation. The diameter of nano-TiO2 nanotubes was about 70∼ …

A versatile strategy to endow biomaterials with long-term antibacterial ability without
compromising the cytocompatibility is highly desirable to combat biomaterial related …

Titanium oxide nanotube arrays are extremely promising materials for localized drug
delivery in orthopedic implants due to their excellent properties and facile preparation. TiO2 …

Prosthesis-associated infections are one of the main causes of implant failure; thus it is
important to enhance the long-term antibacterial ability of orthopedic implants. Titanium …
