Abstract:Regulating cell growth, extracellular matrix deposition and mineralization of artificial implants are some important parameters that decide the longevity of implants in the body. Picosecond laser-induced hybrid groove structures have been shown to improve these properties of the Ti-6Al-4V bio-alloy. Two hybrid structures containing groove patterns with periodic and non-periodic substructures therein were generated on Ti-6Al-4V by varying the extent of laser pulse overlapping on sample surface.Laser-induced alt… Show more
