“…54 Although some reports have found that fluorine can enhance bacterial adhesion on the surface of biomaterials, 55,56 others have reported that fluorine shows antibacterial ability. 57,58 Our data indicate that the roughness of both TiO 2 nanotube surfaces was higher than that of the two control samples. We also found that the water contact angles on both TiO 2 nanotube surfaces, especially on the surface of the 80 nm TiO 2 nanotubes, were much lower than those of the two control groups, indicating that the TiO 2 nanotube surfaces had improved hydrophilic performance.…”

“…However, in another study, fluorine ions implanted on the PMMA surface did not change surface roughness. 37 Another approach to reduce the colonization of bacteria is via modification of surface free energy and chemistry. 37 Wettability decreased as contact angle increased.…”

“…Na ciência médica moderna, os biomateriais desempenham um importante papel na substituição deórgãos, tecidos e implantes ortopédicos [1]- [3], podendo atuar até como auxiliadores de funções. Além da biocompatibilidade e das propriedades físicas e químicas, a ação bactericidaé de enorme importância para os biomateriais.…”

“…Os implantes infectados requerem cirurgias e intervenções médicas extensas e dispendiosas e o tratamento pode levar meses. Desta forma, a melhor estratégiaé aquela que previne que tais contaminações ocorram [2], [3]. Existem alguns materiais utilizados para este fim como o aço inox [4], o titânio puro e suas ligas [5], [6] e o poli(metacrilato de metila) (PMMA) [3].…”
