Biomedical Polymer Surface Modification of Beta-Type Titanium Alloy for Implants through Anodic Oxide Nanostructures
Abstract:
Anodic oxide nanostructures (nanopores and nanotubes) were formed on a biomedical β-type titanium alloy, Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr alloy (TNTZ), in order to improve adhesive strength by the anchor effect of a segmented polyurethane (SPU) with soft tissue compatibility. The nanotube structure was formed beneath the nanoporous structure. The adhesive strength between the SPU coating and the nanoporous structure formed on TNTZ by anodization is more than 1.5 times that of an SPU coating on as-polished TNTZ with a mirror finish. After removal of the nanoporous structure by etching with HF solution, the adhesive strength of the SPU coating on the exposed nanotube structure is decreased.
