Nanometer titanium dioxide powders were prepared by hydrolysis of titanium-tetrabutoxide with ethanol. The powder particle size of TiO2 in the structure of anatase-type is mainly between 5 and 10 nm. Using the process that titanium alloys were embedded by the nanometer TiO2 powders and sintered in the high temperature furnace, the nano-TiO2/titanium alloy biomaterials was fabricated out. The particle size of TiO2 particles on the surface of Ti alloy was mainly 50-70 nm. The method is a simple and adaptable technique for surface modification of the titanium alloys.
