Changes in Surface Characteristics of Anodized Titanium Arising from Water Immersion

Surface characteristics and bioactivity of an anodized titanium surface

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and biological response of an anodized titanium surface by cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity analysis. METHODS Commercial pure titanium (Ti) disks were prepared. The samples were divided into an untreated machined Ti group and anodized Ti group. The anodization of cp-Ti was formed using a constant voltage ...

Surface Modification of Anodized Titanium for Calcium Phosphate Coatings

The anodization of titanium involves the formation of a thin, dense and compact, oxide layer. In this process the rutile structure of the original titanium oxide is converted into an anatase structure. It is this anatase structure and how it influences the bonding properties of the sol gel coating of hydroxyapatite (HAp) was the main aim of this research project. "he titanium samples were anodi...

Improvement of surface bioactivity on titanium by water and hydrogen plasma immersion ion implantation.

We have investigated the surface bioactivity of titanium after water and hydrogen plasma immersion ion implantation. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) excels in the surface treatment of components possessing a complicated shape such as medical implants. In addition, water and hydrogen PIII has been extensively studied as a method to fabricate silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates in the ...

Formation of various TiO2 nanostructures from electrochemically anodized titanium

TiO2 nanostructures, including nanowires, highly ordered nanotube arrays, and single crystalline nanoplates, were obtained from electrochemically anodized Ti foil in a fluorine-containing ethylene glycol electrolyte. The TiO2 nanowires, formed by the electric field induced chemical splitting of TiO2 nanotubes by fluoride ions during a lengthy anodization can be isolated from the nanotube arrays...
