Development of a versatile procedure for the biofunctionalization of Ti-6Al-4V implants

Abstract: HighlightsSurface of Ti-6Al-4V was functionalized by Activated Vapor Silanization (AVS). AVS is proven to be a reliable procedure for functionalizing Ti-6Al-4V samples. The functional layer was characterized by AFM and fluorescence microscopy. The cytocompatibility of the functionalized samples was assessed by cell cultures. The stability of the functional layer under physiological conditions was confirmed.3 Abstract Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloys are among the most-commonly used metallic materials for impl… Show more

“…For the functionalization of the substrates used in this study, the processing parameters were chosen as: T evap = 150 °C, T act = 750 °C, P Ar = 2mbar, t = 20 min. This choice of parameters was based on a previous study 32 that established the optimized functionalization conditions. This process results in a homogenous and dense amino-functionalized surface on Ti-6Al-4V substrates.…”

“…In the present study, a robust biofunctionalization procedure was developed to covalently bind fibronectin to the surface of a solid biomaterial. The procedure begins with the deposition of a thin functionalized layer on the surface of the Ti substrate using AVS [37,42]. The stability of the functionalized layer had been assessed in a previous work using nanoscratch tests [43].…”

“…The surfaces of the Ti substrates were initially amino-functionalized using the activated vapor silanization (AVS) method, following a previously described protocol [36,37]. Briefly, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS, Fluka, Madrid, Spain) is poured into a sealed compartment and evaporated at low vacuum.…”
