Applications of Titania Nanotubes in Bone Biology

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2015
Orthopedic implants, including artificial joints and fracture fixation devices, have helped to restore the physical independence of many patients, thereby improving the quality of their lives. Titania (Ti) and its alloys are better implant materials than stainless steel and Co-Cr alloys owing to their superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility;

Thermal–structural relationship of individual titania nanotubes

Nanoscale, 2015
The thermal properties of nano-scale materials are largely influenced by their geometry. The zero, one and quasi one dimensional forms of the same material could exhibit unique thermal transport properties depending upon the shape and nano-scale feature size.

Free-standing carbon nanotube–titania photoactive sheets

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2015
We report on the development of a new photoactive material via titania (TiO2) nanoparticle deposition on free-standing aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets. Controlling homogeneous dispersion of negatively charged TiO2 nanoparticles, achieved by adjusting pH higher than the point of zero charge (PZC), influenced electrochemical deposition of TiO2 on ...

Nanostructured Titania: the current and future promise of Titania nanotubes

Catalysis Science & Technology, 2012
Titania nanotubes (TiNT) combine unique nanotubular morphology with the desirable electronic, optical, and chemical properties of nanostructured titania. This perspective provides an overview of the three major synthesis methods for TiNT and the corresponding physical and chemical characteristics of the material.

Photoelectrocatalysis reactivity of independent titania nanotubes

Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 2010
Two types of independent titania nanotube arrays with the separated tube wall structure have been fabricated by a controlled anodization process and used for photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) applications. The photocatalysis degradation efficiency of the organic pollutant is improved from 6.0 to 9.2% through increasing tube length and inter-tube space.

Opto-electronic properties of titania nanotubes

Chemical Physics Letters, 2008
Abstract Opto-electronic properties of titanium oxide nanotubes (TiNT) were elucidated by photoluminescence (PL), UV-DRS and Raman spectroscopy. By hydrogen peroxide treatment of TiNTs, the PL intensity and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns were notably increased, with the almost complete disappearance of the oxygen deficiency peaks ...
