Abstract EN
Despite the systemic antibiotics prophylaxis, orthopedic implants still remain highly susceptible to bacterial adhesion and resulting in device-associated infection.
Surface modification is an effective way to decrease bacterial adhesion.
In this study, we prepared surfaces with different wettability on titanium surface based on TiO2 nanotube to examine the effect of bacterial adhesion.
Firstly, titanium plates were calcined to form hydrophilic TiO2 nanotube films of anatase phase.
Subsequently, the nanotube films and inoxidized titaniums were treated with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl-triethoxysilane (PTES), forming superhydrophobic and hydrophobic surfaces.
Observed by SEM and contact angle measurements, the different surfaces have different characteristics.
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) adhesion on different surfaces was evaluated.
Our experiment results show that the superhydrophobic surface has contact angles of water greater than 150∘ and also shows high resistance to bacterial contamination.
It is indicated that superhydrophobic surface may be a factor to reduce device-associated infection and could be used in clinical practice.
