TiO(2) is one of the most studied compounds in materials science. Owing to some outstanding properties it is used for instance in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices. In 1999, first reports showed the feasibility to grow highly ordered arrays of TiO(2) nanotubes by a simple but optimized electrochemical anodization of a titanium metal sheet. This finding stimulated intense research activities that focused on growth, modification, properties, and applications of these one-dimensional nanostructures. This review attempts to cover all these aspects, including underlying principles and key functional features of TiO(2), in a comprehensive way and also indicates potential future directions of the field.

TiO2 nanotubes: synthesis and applications.

In the present review we try to give a comprehensive and most up to date view to the field, with an emphasis on the currently most investigated anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays. We will first give an overview of different synthesis approaches to produce TiO2 nanotubes and TiO2 nanotube arrays, and then deal with physical and chemical properties of TiO2 nanotubes and techniques to modify them. Finally, we will provide an overview of the most explored and prospective applications of nanotubular TiO2.

Self-ordering electrochemistry: a review on growth and functionality of TiO2nanotubes and other self-aligned MOx structures

Use of titanium as biomaterial is possible because of its very favorable biocompatibility with living tissue. Titanium implants having calcium phosphate coatings on their surface show good fixation to the bone. This review covers briefly the requirements of typical biomaterials and narrowly focuses on the works on titanium. Calcium phosphate ceramics for use in implants are introduced and various methods of producing calcium phosphate coating on titanium substrates are elaborated. Advantages and disadvantages of each type of coating from the view point of process simplicity, cost-effectiveness, stability of the coatings, coating integration with the bone, cell behavior, and so forth are highlighted. Taking into account all these factors, the efficient method(s) of producing these coatings are indicated finally.

Calcium phosphate-based coatings on titanium and its alloys

Titanium and its alloys are being used in many orthopedic and bioimplant applications. In order to render these materials bioactive and to enhance osteointegration, the surfaces are coated with hydroxyapatite (HAp). Adhesion of bone cell to the implant surface, bond strength and durability of the implants are highly dependent upon the characteristics of the Ti substrate and the methods utilized in the hydroxyapatite coating process. In this paper we have reported an innovative method of preparation of a nanotubular titania surface and subsequent electrodeposition of hydroxyapatite nanocrystalline coating. Growth of the hydroxyapatite onto the nanotubular titania surface was accomplished by a pulsed electrodeposition process. Prior to the electrodeposition, the nanotubular titania surface was subjected to an alkaline treatment, which provided a template for nucleation of the hydroxyapatite inside the nanotubes. This process resulted in a vertical growth of the hydroxyapatite crystals and increased the bond strength of the coating. Bond strength was further improved by annealing the hydroxyapatite coated nanoporous titania in an argon atmosphere.
