Abstract excerpt
This study examined the effect of photofunctionalization on bioactivity and osteoconductivity of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. We also tested a hypothesis that the effect of photofunctionalization is as substantial as the one of surface roughening. Two different surface morphology, a roughened surface (sandblasted and acid-etched surface) and relatively smooth surface (machined surface), was tested. Ti6Al4V samples...
