An antibacterial mechanism of titanium alloy based on micro-area potential difference induced reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: In this article , the micro-area potential difference (MAPD) on the surface of titanium alloys has been found to be a key factor in the antibacterial properties of the alloys, and it was shown that high MAPD is associated with great production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in the killing effect to the biofilm known to be associated with implant infections.
