TL;DR: Comparison of surface structures of cicada, dragonfly and butterfly wings, shark skin, gecko feet, taro and lotus leaves shows large variations in structure dimension and configuration, indicating that there is no one particular surface structure that exhibits bactericidal behaviour against all types of microorganisms.

TL;DR: In this article, various nano-textured surfaces of TiO2 were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis, by varying NaOH concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature, and their correlations to mechanical, morphological, bactericidal and osteogenic properties of the surfaces were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and manufacturing of porous implant material via additive manufacturing techniques, as well as recent advances in surface modification, to achieve biocompatible surfaces is discussed.

TL;DR: A thorough examination of the surface, mechanical and wettability properties of multifunctional hydrothermally synthesised nanostructured materials, capable of killing bacteria whilst improving osteoblast metabolic rates, leading to improved osseointegration and antibacterial properties of orthopaedic implants is provided.

TL;DR: This work uses experimental data from hydrothermally synthesised TiO2 nanostructures, in combination with IBM SPSS Statistics to form a prediction of nanostructure height, as a function of hydrothermal process parameters (NaOH concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature).
