Nanostructured titanium alloy surfaces for enhanced osteoblast response: A combination of morphology and chemistry

This study is part of a new trend in the metallic biomaterials field that searches to use the titanium beta alloys with recognized bulk and surface properties for better biological response. Ti15Mo alloy (wt%) had it surface modified by TiO2 nanotubes growth using the anodic oxidation method and grafted with poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PNaSS). The motivation behind the combination of these techniques was to promote a surface, which enables...
