Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Surface Modification on Bacterial Adhesion to Titanium-Based Substrates
Martina Lorenzetti,Iztok Dogsa,Tjaša Stošicki,David Stopar,Mitjan Kalin,Spomenka Kobe,Saša Novak +6 more
TL;DR: Bacterial adhesion on titanium-substrates used for bone implants is examined, with results suggesting the dominant effects of the macroscopic surface topography, as well as microasperity at the surface roughness scale, which were produced during titanium machining, HT treatment, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wettability studies of topologically distinct titanium surfaces
Mukta Kulkarni,Yogita Patil-Sen,Ita Junkar,Chandrashekhar Vishwanath Kulkarni,Martina Lorenzetti,Aleš Iglič +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the surface morphology and roughness at the nanoscale level substantially affect the titanium dioxide surface-water droplet interaction, opposing to previous observations for microscale structured surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement to the Corrosion Resistance of Ti-Based Implants Using Hydrothermally Synthesized Nanostructured Anatase Coatings
Martina Lorenzetti,Eva Pellicer,Jordi Sort,Maria Dolors Baró,Janez Kovač,Saša Novak,Spomenka Kobe +6 more
TL;DR: The overall results indicated that the hydrothermally prepared anatase coatings, with the appropriate morphology and surface properties, have attractive prospects for use in medical devices, since better corrosion protection of the implant can be expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface properties of nanocrystalline TiO2 coatings in relation to the in vitro plasma protein adsorption.
TL;DR: In-depth knowledge is provided about the characterization of nanocrystalline TiO2 coatings for body implants and its dependence on the three main surface properties: surface charge, wettability and roughness to provide a basis for future studies on the hemocompatibility and biocompatible surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinduced properties of nanocrystalline TiO2-anatase coating on Ti-based bone implants
TL;DR: The results on caffeine degradation by photocatalysis and the prolonged effect of photo-induced wettability in dark suggested a possible applicability of the HT anatase coatings as bacteria-repelling surfaces for body implants, in favor of a better osseointegration in vivo.
