Proposed mechanism of nano-biomimetic apatite deposition on as-made and photofunctionalized titanium surfaces.
Notes: Direct deposition of apatite takes place on photofunctionalized titanium surfaces, whereas the hydrocarbon layer is intervened between apatite and titanium on as-made titanium surfaces. The area of apatite deposition is also increased on photofunctionalized titanium because of the elimination of surface air bubbles.
Abbreviation: SBF, simulated body fluid.
