Abstract:TiO2/epoxy coatings were successfully applied to the surface of AISI 316L stainless steel to change the wetting properties, with the aim being to improve the biocompatibility of the superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic surfaces. Contact-angle measurements were used to evaluate the wetting properties of the non-coated, epoxy-coated, as-received TiO2/epoxy-coated and fluoroalkylsilane (FAS)-TiO2/epoxy-coated substrates. The as-received TiO2/epoxy coating and FAS-TiO2/epoxy coating showed superhydrophilic and superh… Show more
Human bones have unique structure and characteristics, and replacing a natural bone in the case of bone fracture or bone diseases is a very complicated problem.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
