Scheme showing the methodological steps to achieve the hydrophilic nanotubular surfaces and methods for storage of disks. 1.(STEP)—Titanium disks with machined surfaces were treated using an anodization process in order to achieve nanotopography. 2.(STEP)—Nanotubular surfaces were submitted to reactive plasma application and directly stored in sterilized culture plates with DI water or common air.
