Synergistic Effect of Hydrophilic Surface and Nano‐Ag2O in TiO2‐Based Composites Coating on Antibacterial and Osteogenic Properties of Low Modulus Ti‐Mo‐Ag Alloy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ti‐15Mo‐2.5Ag alloy exhibited a low modulus and strong antibacterial ability but poor bioactivity. To resolve this problem, sandblasting and anodization were used to create a hydrophilic and nano‐Ag2O‐containing TiO2 coating. Subsequently, the microstructure and physicochemical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X ...
