Self-Organized Nanotubular Oxide Layers on Ti and Ti Alloys

To improve bioactivity of titanium and titanium, the implant surface modification by formation of self-organized TiO₂ nanotube arrays with electrochemical techniques is presented. The influence of electrolyte composition and deposition parameters during anodization is characterized. The enhancement of phosphates deposition by titanium nanotubular structure is discussed. The calcium phosphate ceramics is shown to be uniformly deposited on anodized titanium surface of a nanotubular oxide layer.
