Nanoporous Titanium Oxide Morphologies Produced by Anodizing of Titanium

A quick and dependable technique has been developed that allows us to selectively produce anodized TiO2 in the form of nanotubes. The process employs mild chemical conditions and ambient temperature. The method can consistently produce nearly 100% surface coverage of nanotubes within 10 min of anodizing. Anodizing in relatively high pH electrolytes for 1 hour permitted us to produce nanotubes o...

Nanoporous titanium borophosphates with rigid gainesite-type framework structure.

Nanoporous titanium borophosphates have been synthesized which exhibit a rigid gainesite-type framework of polyhedra. The open-framework character is supported by the reversibility of de- and rehydration processes.

Effects of nanoporous anodic titanium oxide on human adipose derived stem cells

The aim of current bone biomaterials research is to design implants that induce controlled, guided, successful, and rapid healing. Titanium implants are widely used in dental, orthopedic, and reconstructive surgery. A series of studies has indicated that cells can respond not only to the chemical properties of the biomaterial, but also, in particular, to the changes in surface topography. Nanop...

Through-Hole, Self-Ordered Nanoporous Oxide Layers on Titanium, Niobium and Titanium–Niobium Alloys in Aqueous and Organic Nitrate Electrolytes

In the past decades, a variety of self-aligned functional oxides have successfully been grown on a wide range of metals using electrochemical, self-organizing anodization. The earliest reports on highly ordered oxide structures included porous aluminum oxide layers grown by optimized anodization of Al in oxalic acid. These nanoporous oxides found a considerable number of direct applications, su...
