Biological properties of direct grafting by ultraviolet irradiation of vinyl benzyl phosphonic acid onto titanium surfaces

See http://tny.im/rps — Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are the most effective metals for structural implantable device applications. However, Ti-based materials are passively integrated into the bone, resulting in a purely mechanical attachment. Consequently, the loss of osseointegration often leads to implant failure. Therefore, enhancing bone formation surrounding the implant is primordial. In previous investigations…
