Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring the use of nanostructured metal oxide surfaces to enhance the biocompatibility and bioactivity of biodegradable iron-based materials.
- Iron oxide nanotubes were successfully synthesized on pure iron through an anodic oxidation process, creating a layer that primarily consists of α-FeO with small diameters (60-70 nm).
- In vitro studies revealed that this nanotube layer did not negatively affect cell viability or morphology, and actually improved metabolic activity in human osteosarcoma cells, indicating potential for biomedical applications like stents or implants.
Ti15Zr15Mo (TMZ alloy) has been studied in recent years for biomedical applications, mainly due to phase beta formation. From the surface modification, it is possible to associate the volume and surface properties with a better biomedical response. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of using anodization to obtain TiO nanotubes due to the presence of valve-type metal (Zr) in their composition.
