Evaluation of Anodizing Time on the Growth of TiO 2 Nanotubes Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Abstract

©The Electrochemical Society. The applications of titanium (Ti) are different, in order to seek to modify any of their features for increase their mechanical properties by mention, in this work/project it modifies the surface through the growth of TiO 2 nanotubes by the route electrochemical, it performed an evaluation of this growth of them TiO 2 nanotubes, depending on the anodizing time, through tests of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Samples of TiO 2 nanotubes were immersed in a saline solution of Hank's that simulates body fluids, for a period of time (1 month), with the aim of obtaining favorable responses compared to the formation of the oxide layer on metallic Titanium required usually in prosthesis or implant bone, for the possible use of these nanotubes as a replacement for the usual Ti oxide layer.
