Novel Bioactive Titanate Layers Formed on Ti Metal and Its Alloys by Chemical Treatments
Sodium titanate formed on Ti metal by NaOH and heat treatments induces apatite formation on its surface in a body environment and bonds to living bone. These treatments have been applied to porous Ti metal in artificial hip joints, and have been used clinically in Japan since 2007. Calcium titanate...
