TNTs with a diameter of 150 nm were prepared with commercial pure Ti discs (purity: 99.9%, diameter: 34 or 14 mm, thickness: 1 mm, Baoji Titanium Industry, China). A method published in previous studies was followed. Specifically, the flat Ti discs were polished using 320–2000 grit SiC abrasive paper (Electron Microscopy Sciences). Then, the Ti discs were sequentially sonicated in 100% acetone, 70% ethanol, and distilled water for 15 min each before anodization, and the samples were dried in air. Next, Ti discs, acting as an anode, and platinum foil (Alfa Aesar), acting as a cathode, were connected in an electrochemical reaction flask, and 30 V DC power was supplied (Thermo Electron). A glycerol-based electrolyte was prepared with 0.25 wt% ammonium fluoride (Alfa Aesar, 96%) and 2 wt% deionized water. After anodization, the samples were thoroughly washed with deionized water and dried at 80 °C. Finally, a muffle furnace (Thermolyne 6000) was utilized to anneal the samples at 500 °C for 3 h. The nonanodized pure Ti foils (flat Ti) underwent the same treatment except that a voltage of 0 V were applied to the control group. Prior to cell culture experiments, all the experimental samples were sterilized with 70% ethanol for 10–12 h followed by exposure to UV light overnight.

By mounting the 3D-printed sample at the handle, the square portion was immersed into a solution of ethylene glycol (certified grade, Sigma Aldrich) with 0.3 wt.% ammonium fluoride (certified grade, Fisher Chemical) and 2 vol.% deionized water. A (25 x 25 x 0.13) mm platinum foil (Sigma Aldrich) was used as counter-electrode. The 3D-printed sample and the Pt electrode were connected to an EPS 2A200 power supply (Hoefer Inc., Holliston, USA) as anode and cathode, respectively. The electrolyte was magnetically stirred for 15-20 min prior usage to ensure solution homogeneity, and it was kept gently stirred during the entire anodization process. Fresh solution was employed for each sample. Four different anodization voltages: 20 V, 40 V, 60 V and 80 V, were tested at a fixed time of 30 min. Additional samples were anodized at a constant voltage of 40 V for 5 min, 10 min, 20 min and 60 min. After anodization, the handle was detached from the square portion of the sample and discarded. All the anodized samples were ultrasonicated in ethanol for 30 s.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
