## Abstract Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical devices and components, especially as hard tissue replacements as well as in cardiac and cardiovascular applications, because of their desirable properties, such as relatively low modulus, good fatigue strength, formability, mac
## Abstract A new class of organic–inorganic nanocomposites, to be used as coatings for surface enhancement of metal implants for bone replacement and repair, has been prepared by a biomimetic three‐step procedure: (1) embedding amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) particles between organic polyelectr
## Abstract Percutaneous implants require a seal at the skin interface. Laminin (L‐332) is a component of the basement membrane, integral to epidermal attachment. To enhance the attachment of keratinocytes onto the surface of titanium alloy (Ti~6~Al~4~V), we attached L‐332 onto the surface using si
## Abstract Roughness‐induced hydrophobicity, well‐known from natural plant surfaces and intensively studied toward superhydrophobic surfaces, has currently been identified on microstructured titanium implant surfaces. Studies indicate that microstructuring by sandblasting and acid etching (SLA) en
