The Promotion of Antibacterial Effects of Ti6Al4V Alloy Modified with TiO2 Nanotubes Using a Superoxidized Solution

The purpose of the present study was to synthetize 80 nm diameter TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) on Ti6Al4V alloy using a commercially superoxidized water (SOW) enriched with fluoride to reduce anodization time and promote the antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The alloy discs w...
