“…However, as a bioinert metal, 6 titanium will be covered by a fibrous tissue layer after implantation process leading to the little or no bone bonding between the implant and the host tissue during the implantation time. 7 The research has been recently directed towards improving the bioactivity of the titanium implants with the aim of accelerating the bone healing and bone regeneration, 8,9 using different chemical or physical procedures. 10,11 Most of the implants are placed according to the 'osseointegration' concept, which allows the bone tissue to penetrate inside the implant and inhibit implant loosening.…”

In the present research we have applied three types of surface modifications on Ti6Al4 V alloy including heat treatment, H 2 O 2 treatment and alkali treatment. Scanning electron microscope and thin-film X-ray diffractometry (TF-XRD) were used to analyse the surface structure and the formed phases on the surface modified specimens. In vitro bioactivity evaluations were carried out and the cytocompatibility assay was performed using the evaluation of viability and attachment of L-929 fibroblast cells. The results revealed more bioactivity of the alkali-treated Ti6Al4 V alloy compared to other surface modifications. Better cellular response was also observed on the alkali-treated specimens. According to the results of our study, alkali treatment enhanced the in vitro bioactivity and cytocompatibility of Ti6Al4 V alloy more effectively than H 2 O 2 treatment and heat treatment.

“…During the electrospray process, a supplied voltage was firstly applied between the tip of the needle and the substrate, once the voltage was increased to a threshold, the electrical forces in the polymer droplet overcame the surface tension forces, and a jet was ejected from the tip of needle, then the polymer droplet was gradually atomized and the particles with hierarchical micro/nanostructures further randomly deposited on the substrate, resulting in a uniform coating (Khan et al, 2012;Prawel et al, 2013). Generally, two essential features were required for superhydrophobicity: a rough surface and coating material with low surface energy (Li et al, 2015b;Liu et al, 2015).…”
