Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize, characterize, and evaluate the adhesionstrength of titania nanotubes (titania nanotubes) and iodine-doped titaniananotubes (I-titania nanotubes) architectures on the additively manufacturedTi-6Al-4 V (Ti64) implant surface. The titania nanotubes and I-titania nano-tubes were synthesized through two stages of electrochemical anodization,whereby titania nanotubes are anodically fabricated through a conventionalapproach and then modified by replacing the ethylene glycol electrolyte withpotassium iodide solution. The characterization results revealed the formationof α-Ti, β-Ti, and titanium iodide (TiI2) phases on the titania nanotubes and I-titania nanotubes surfaces. The morphology of titania nanotubes exhibits aconsistent diameter, evenly distributed, well-ordered array, and denselypacked nanotubular structures. Formation of a water-soluble fluoride-rich[TiF6]2 complexes in the inner titania nanotubes surface and incessant nano-tube’s sidewall etching resulted in poor interfacial titania nanotubes adhesionto the titanium-substrate surface. Iodine doping on the titania nanotubes isbelieved to reduce the [TiF6]2 complexes accumulation and the titania nano-tubes sidewall etching. This facilitates the adhesion and interfacial mechan-ical anchorage between the titania nanotubes and the surface of the Ti64 im-plant. The hardness and adhesion strength of the titania nanotubes increasedby more than 50 %, due to the formation of a hard titanium iodide film at thetitania nanotubes/I-titania nanotubes surfaces and interfaces.
