Formation of Titania Submicron-Scale Rod Arrays on Titanium Substrate and In Vitro Biocompatibility
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Titania submicron-scale rod arrays were fabricated on metallic titanium (α-Ti) surfaces by coating a layer of sodium tetraborate on titanium substrates and subsequent thermal treatment. Thin-film X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the sodium tetraborate gave rutile (TiO2: PDF# 21-1276) submicron-scale rod arrays. The rods in the arrays are parallel to each other in the grain of metallic titanium surface. The titania submicron-scale rod arrays deposited apatite within 7 days after being soaked in a simulated body fluid, indicating that the rod arrays exhibit in vitro bioactivity.
