Synthesis and characterization of hybrid micro/nano-structured NiTi surfaces by a combination of etching and anodizing

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to generate hybrid micro/nano-structures on biomedical nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi). To achieve this, NiTi surfaces were firstly electrochemically etched and then anodized in fluoride-containing electrolyte. With the etching process, the NiTi surface was micro-roughened through the formation of micropits uniformly distributed over the entire surface. Following the subsequent anodizing process, self-organized nanotube structures enriched in TiO2 could be superimposed on the etched … Show more

“…e.g., electrochemical, ion implantation and heat treatment, etc. 27 Titanium anodizing improves the surface properties which increases the lubricity, anti-galling and fatigue properties of the alloy. Because of the aforementioned properties, anodizing is becoming rapidly popular in treating components used in the medical industry, especially on orthopaedic implants.…”

“…However, up to now, most of the microscale structures of the hierarchical micro/nano-textured surfaces, fabricated by acid etching [11,22,24,25], sand-blasting [26], electro-eroding [27][28][29] or some combination of them [30], have usually been unordered and irregular and may be adverse to the further improvement of their bioactivity [12,31,32]. An unordered structure will lead to insufficient synergistic functions in the interaction between cells and biomaterials [9].…”

“…The electrolyte condition distinctly influenced the wettability of the surface, as the result was published by Huan et al. [ 26 ] when the contact angle values of NiTi alloy decreased to 70° for 15° after anodizing with hydrofluoric acid because the surface becomes more hydrophilic with the nanotubular morphology. SFE has an inverse tendency in relation to the contact angle: that is, the smaller the contact angle values, the higher the SFE.…”
