In this study, a surface modification strategy using natural biopolymers on titanium is proposed to improve bone healing and promote rapid and successful osseointegration of orthopedic implants. Titania nanotubes were fabricated via an anodization process and the surfaces were further modified with polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) based on Tanfloc (a cationic tannin derivative) and glycosaminoglycans (heparin and hyaluronic acid). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle measure ...[more]
