“…On the other hand, a study of AO [ 2 ] has shown that this electrochemical process is highly flexible [ 69 , 334 ] and easy to conduct [ 70 , 95 ], offering wide variety of anodic TiO 2 layer properties including excellent biocompatibility [ 8 , 271 ] good mechanical stability [ 16 , 314 ], through multifunctional nanostructured films [ 11 , 49 ], nano-morphologies [ 44 , 79 , 162 ], complex hierarchical topographies [ 35 , 45 , 92 , 248 ], and surface biofunctionalisation [ 73 , 74 , 280 , 314 ], whereas all of which were feasible to be implemented as implant coatings [ 72 , 290 , 311 ] and with an economical scale-up or optimised fabrication [ 69 , 95 , 256 , 334 ].…”
