Abstract:ObjectiveThis study aimed to synthesize zinc‐incorporated nanowires structure modified titanium implant surface (Zn‐NW‐Ti) and explore its superior osteogenic and antibacterial properties in vitro and in vivo.Materials and methodsZn‐NW‐Ti was synthesized via displacement reactions between zinc sulfate solutions and the titanium (Ti) surface, which was pretreated by hydrofluoric acid etching and hyperthermal alkalinization. The physicochemical properties of the Zn‐NW‐Ti surface were examined. Moreover, the biol… Show more
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.
