Surface functionalization with bioactive molecules (BAMs) on a nanometre scale is a main
field in current biomaterial research. The immobilization of a vast number of substances and …

This paper presents an overview of the corrosion behavior of titanium (Ti) alloys in both
acidic and saline solutions. The solutions covered in this review are essentially the typical …

Copper and silver are antimicrobial metals, on whose surface bacteria do not grow. As our
paper demonstrates, this commonly reported antimicrobial property does not apply to …

Titanium implants have a thin oxide surface layer. The properties of this oxide layer may
explain the good biocompatibility of titanium implants. Anodic oxidation results in a …

Surface films play a key role in corrosion and osteointegration processes of titanium-based
orthopedic implants. The influence of niobium and vanadium as alloying elements on …

Titanium implants have been used widely and successfully for various types of bone-
anchored reconstructions. It is believed that properties of oxide films covering titanium …

Crystallization of amorphous anodic films grown at constant current density on sputtering-
deposited titanium, and Ti–Si and Ti–Al alloys, in ammonium pentaborate electrolyte, has …

The high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility of titanium and its alloys are due to
a thin passive film that consists essentially of titanium dioxide. There is increasing evidence …

The mechanism of growth of anodic titanium oxide in sulphuric acid has been investigated
by potentiostatic and potentiodynamic anodizing, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy …

Electrochemical measurements, x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling
microscopy have been used to study the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the passivity of …
