Influence of Surface Contaminants and Hydrocarbon Pellicle on the Results of Wettability Measurements of Titanium
Hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity—or wettability—is a key surface characterization metric for titanium used in dental and orthopedic implants. However, the effects of hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity on biological capability remain uncertain, and the relationships between surface wettability and other surf...
