Popis: Ti-12Ta-9Nb-6Zr-3V-O alloy, one of the shape-memory alloys with lower Young’s modulus in comparison with conventional titanium alloy, was treated with sulfuric acid to form roughened surface on the substrate. In order to impart hydroxyapatite formation ability to the Ti-12Ta-9Nb-6Zr-3V-O alloy, apatite nuclei (AN) were precipitated on the roughened surface using simulated body fluid (SBF) adjusted at higher pH than physiological condition. By this treatment, AN-precipitated Ti-12Ta-9Nb-6Zr-3V-O alloy was obtained. The AN-precipitated Ti-12Ta-9Nb-6Zr-3V-O alloy showed high hydroxyapatite formation ability in physiological SBF.
