Effect of post heat treatment on surface properties of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treated titanium

In this study different heat treatment temperatures have been applied for titanium implant after surface modification through chemical treatment by Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the main phase at the surface of heat-treated sample at temperatures below than 650 ? is Anatase, moreover, the presence of Anatase, which is dominate along the Raman shift, with noticeable pick intensity is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy technique. Field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM) observation shows that by increasing temperature, the porous structures did not change significantly in terms of morphology. Contact Angle (CA) measurement and Ellipsometry are other techniques which are used to figure out hydrophobicity of the surface and optical properties of the oxide surface, respectively.

Automated summary

Different heat treatment temperatures were applied to titanium implants after surface modification using chemical treatment with hydrogen peroxide. XRD analysis showed that the main phase on the surface of heat-treated samples below 650 ? was anatase. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of anatase as the dominant phase along the Raman shift with noticeable peak intensity. FESEM observation indicated that the porous structures did not significantly change in morphology with increasing temperature. Contact angle and ellipsometry measurements were used to determine the hydrophobicity and optical properties of the oxide surface, respectively.
