Effect of Spontaneous and Water-Based Passivation on Components and Parameters of Ti6Al4V (ELI Grade) Surface Tension and Its Wettability by an Aqueous Solution of Sucrose Ester Surfactants

Effect of Spontaneous and Water-Based Passivation on Components and Parameters of Ti6Al4V (ELI Grade) Surface Tension and Its Wettability by an Aqueous Solution of Sucrose Ester Surfactants

Solid wettability is especially important for biomaterials and implants in the context of microbial adhesion to their surfaces. This adhesion can be inhibited by changes in biomaterial surface roughness and/or its hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance. The surface hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance can be ch...
