The patterned titania gel film fabricated by UV-irradiation through a mask and leaching was anodized by direct current electrolysis or pulse electrolysis. The patterning prepared through the two electrolyses was quite contrasted in that masking part and unmasking part was anodized in direct electrolysis and in pulse electrolysis, respectively. In addition, the oxide film thickness obtained using pulse electrolysis was thinner than that using direct current electrolysis. Thus, a combination of the photopatterning and pulse electrolysis made it possible to fabricate hydroxyapatite (HAp)-fixed and thinner titanium oxide film with fine pattern on titanium plate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
