Enhancing the Antibacterial Properties and Biocompatibility of Ti-Cu Alloy by Roughening and Anodic Oxidation

Although Ti-Cu alloys have been shown to possess good antibacterial properties, they are still biologically inert. In this study, sandblasting and acid etching combined with anodic oxidation were applied to roughen the surface as well as to form a TiO<sub>2</sub>/CuO/Cu<sub>2</s...
