Impact of Surface Potential on Apatite Formation in Ti Alloys Subjected to Acid and Heat Treatments

Titanium metal (Ti) and its alloys are widely used in orthopedic and dental fields. We have previously shown that acid and heat treatment was effective to introduce bone bonding, osteoconduction and osteoinduction on pure Ti. In the present study, acid and heat treatment with or without initial NaOH...
