Using Applied Electrochemistry to Obtain Nanoporous TiO2 Films on Ti6Al4V Implant Alloys and Their Preclinical In Vitro Characterization in Biological Solutions

Nanoporous TiO2 film is deposited on grade 5 Ti6Al4V implant alloy by electrochemical oxidation. The nanopores of the film, as highlighted electron microscopy, have a mean diameter 58.6 nm, which measured and calculated from an average value 10 measurements. increase in oxygen concentration compared to untreated alloy, indicates oxidation titanium surface, visualized using X-ray spectroscopy coupled microscope. beneficial effect controlled formation proven comparative evaluation degradation over time through corrosion both with electrochemically formed Hank’s solution, simulates most corrosive biological fluid, blood. results show that modification form nanoporous surface method confirms potential improving anticorrosive properties alloys used applications.
