Photoinduced properties of nanocrystalline TiO2-anatase coating on Ti-based bone implants

Characteristics of multi-layer coating formed on commercially pure titanium for biomedical applications

“…However, this native oxide layer cannot resist against destructive mechanical effects and prevent release of alloying elements into the body fluid. In fact, excess concentrations of the alloying elements lead to detrimental biological responses [5,6]. For instance, toxic effect of vanadium along with its contribution to cardiac and renal dysfunction associated with hypertension, Parkinson's disease and depressive psychosis has been established [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Nanomedicine applications in orthopedic medicine: state of the art

“…[97][98][99] In many attempts, formation of a dense or porous TiO 2 film on the surface of Ti implants have been examined. 98,100 Much work has also been performed on the preparation of TiO 2 nanotubes in order to increase the surface roughness and to improve biological performance of implants. 41,101 Metals (eg, Ag), 41 inorganic materials (like Ca, P), 102 or biomolecules (such as antibiotics) 103 may be incorporated in the surface layer to provide bactericidal capacity, increased ALP activity, and improved osseointegration.…”

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of mesoporous SiO2/TiO2 sol–gel coatings doped with Ag nanoparticles

“…Moreover, transparent thin films are already used in self-cleaning windows for buildings [17]. Different techniques, such as spray pyrolysis [18], sol-gel method [14,19], sputtering [20], solvothermal method [21], pulsed laser deposition [22], atomic layer deposition [23], and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) [24], have been used to obtain TiO 2 coatings. Particularly, sol-gel process is widely used due to its multiple advantages, including the easiness to obtain TiO 2 in anatase phase at low temperature.…”
