Kinetic of Adhesion of with Different EPS Production on Ti6Al4V Surfaces.

Controlling initial bacterial adhesion is essential to prevent biofilm formation and implant-related infection. The search for surface coatings that prevent initial adhesion is a powerful strategy to obtain implants that are more resistant to infection. Tracking the progression of adhesion on surfaces from the beginning of the interaction between bacteria and the surface provides a deeper understanding of the initial adhesion behavior.

Controlled silanization-amination reactions on the Ti6Al4V surface for biomedical applications.

Formation of thin films on titanium alloys incorporating bioactive small molecules or macromolecules is a route to improve their biocompatibility. Aminoalkylsilanes are commonly employed as interface reagents that combine good adhesion properties with an amino tail group susceptible of further functionalization. This article introduces a reproducible methodology to obtain a cross-linked polymer-type brush structure of covalently-bonded aminoalkylsiloxane chains on Ti6Al4V.
