Surface hydrophilicity is considered to have a strong influence on the biological reactions of bone-substituting materials. However, the influence of a hydrophilic or hydrophobic surface on the osteoconductivity is not completely clear. In this study, we produced super-hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface on Ti-and Zr-alloys. Hydrothermal treatment at 180 oC for 180 min. in the distilled water and immersion in x5 PBS(-) brought the super-hydrophilic surface (water contact angle < 10 (deg.)) and heat treatment of as-hydrothermaled the hydrophobic surface. The osteoconductivity of the surface treated samples with several water contact angle was evaluated by in vivo testing. The surface properties, especially water contact angle, strongly affected the osteoconductivity and protein adsorbability, and not the surface substance.

Valve Metals

Anti-corroded valve metals, such as Ti, Nb, Ta, and Zr have been used as metallic biomaterials. However, as untreated surfaces, they do not have high osteoconductivity, and surface coatings with bioactive substances are needed for the implantation into the bone. Surface property, especially hydrophilicity, is considered to have a strong influence on the biological reactions. However, the influence of a hydrophilic surface on osteoconductivity is not completely clear. In this study, we produced super-hydrophilic surface on valve metals (Ti, Nb, Ta and Zr) using a hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C for 180 min. in the distilled water, and then the treated samples were stored in 5PBS(-). This maintained water contact angle less than 10 (deg.) in an apparent. The osteoconducivity of super-hydrophilic treated metals was evaluated with in vivo tests. The hard tissue formation on the samples increased with decreasing the water contact angle. That is to say that super-hydrophilic valve metals without coating of bioactive substances had high osteoconductivity, and the surface properties strongly affected on the osteoconductivity.

Morphology Characterization

A super-hydrophobic surface on the polypropylene matrix was fabricated via micromolding and photograft polymerization. A micro-convex body structure was molded by etching templates. The water contact angle could be increased to 138°. The fluoro methacrylate monomers were further grafted to the surface through UV-induced photograft polymerization. The morphology characterization and the spectroanalysis indicated that the rough hierarchical structure (confirmed by scanning electron microscope) and the grafted fluoropolymers (measured by fourier transform infrared spectrum and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer) made a critical difference. A water contact angle of 160° was arrived.

In this paper, we successfully prepare hydrophobic surface of ZnO/ZnS nanorods arrays modified by stearic acid. The morphology, microstructure, optical transmittance and self-cleaning property are examined by SEM, XRD, UV-vis and water contact angle measurements, respectively. The ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanoarrays shows a higher value of water contact angle in compare with that of pure ZnO nanorods arrays. After treatment by stearic acid, the resulting ZnO/ZnS nanostructure exhibits the best hydrophobicity with water droplets about 146.5 . The results show that the surface hydrophobicity of ZnO/ZnS nanoarrays can be improved by using stearic acid with low-surface-energy.

Surface wettability is thought to influence the osteoconductivity of bone-substituting materials; however, the effects of surface wettability on osteoblast behavior are not well understood. In this study, we prepared both an as-polished pure titanium with a water contact angle (WCA) of 57° and heat-treated pure titanium with more hydrophobic surface and WCAs of 68°-98°. The effects of the surface wettability of pure titanium on osteoblast behaviors were evaluated by in vitro assays. Compared with the as-polished titanium, the proliferation rate of osteoblast increased on heat-treated titanium. This suggested that surface wettability affects osteoblast behaviors, meaning osteoconductivity is influenced by surface wettability.

Its of great importance to develop various outstanding protective concrete coating with favorable impermeability and crack-resistance properties. In this study, the polyaspartic ester polyurea was prepared, and its adhesion to concrete was evaluated by universal testing machine and SEM technology. The optimal formula of polyurea was obtained by investigating the effects of each component's content on the bonding strength to concrete and the water contact angle. Subsequently, the mechanical and surface properties of these polyurea coating were tested. The results showed that the polyurea was obtained by the following formula: the weight ratio of A1/A2/B was 0.612/ 0.408/ 1, and the fluoride filler content was 3%. The coating exhibited excellent mechanical properties, such as high bonding strength (4.5 MPa), sufficient tensile strength (16.4 MPa) and elongation at break (456%). Meanwhile, the coating showed a hydrophobic surface with its water contact angle of 105°. Hence, the polyurea coating is likely to improve the crack-resistance and impermeability properties of hydraulic concrete. Till now, the polyurea coating has been applied to the concrete repair and protection engineering in the South-to-North Water Transfers Project.

This paper reports on the contact angle measurement analysis on a glass based surface for anodic bonding process cleaned by three distinct cleaning processes. The three types of glass based surface used were silica, pyrex, and soda lime glass. The three cleaning solutions tested in this experiment were RCA, piranha and acetone. Water Droplet Test (WDT) was done to analyze the contact angle of micro droplet on sample surface. It can be done by dropping a droplet of water in constant volume at the fixed height and angle. Only RCA process constantly decreases the contact angle value after cleaning. The compilations of data strongly proved that all samples become hydrophilic after RCA cleaning process. The solid surface is considered hydrophilic when water contact angle is smaller than 90°, and hydrophobic profile if the water contact angle is larger than 90°. Samples which undergo piranha and acetone cleaning did not prove any characteristic of hydrophilic or hydrophobic surface after cleaning.

This paper investigates the adsorption behavior of triblock copolymer Poly (propylene oxide)-poly (ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide), PPO-PEO-PPO on silicon and iron surfaces by using the contact angle goniometer, spectroscopic ellipsometer and atomic force microscopy (AFM). After adsorption, the decrease of water contact angle was observed on each surface; and a larger reduction of water contact angle occurred on the surface covered by the copolymer film with longer and higher weight percent of hydrophilic PEO block. This means that the PEO block may be on the top of the adsorbed copolymer film. The film thickness measurement shows that the copolymer with longer and higher weight percent of PPO block forms a thicker film on the hydrophobic surface, which suggests that the hydrophobic PPO block of the copolymer in the aqueous solution plays the main role during the adsorption of PPO-PEO-PPO onto the hydrophobic surface. It has been found from the AFM results that the roughness of the surface decreased after adsorption and the smoother topography was observed on the surface adsorbed by a thicker adsorbed film.

This work attempted to fabricate superhydrophobic fabric via simple immersion technique. Textile fabrics were coated with silica nanoparticles prepared from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) to obtain sufficient roughness with hydrophobic surface chemistry. Then the coated fabrics were treated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to reduce the surface energy. The effects of PDMS concentration on the surface morphology and superhydrophobicity of as-prepared fabric were investigated. The morphology and the composition of superhydrophobic fabric was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results revealed the formation of spherical silica nanoparticles with average particle size of 250 nm throughout the fabric surface. The possible interactions between silica nanoparticles and APTES, as well as the fabrics were elucidated. Investigating the hydrophobicity of fabrics via water contact angle (WCA) measurement showed that the treated fabric exhibits excellent water repellency with a water contact angle as high as 151&deg; and a very low water sliding angle. It also found that the treated fabric maintained most of its hydrophobicity against repeated washing. The comfort properties of the obtained superhydrophobic fabrics in term of air permeability and bending length did not reveal any significant changes.

In this study, we conferred superhydrophilic properties on anodized TiO2 coatings using a hydrothermal treatment, and developed a method to maintain this surface until implantation. The osteoconductivity of these coatings was evaluated with in vivo tests. A hydrothermal treatment made the surface of as-anodized samples more hydrophilic, up to a water contact angle of 13 deg. Storage in PBS(-) led to a reduction in the water contact angle, because of the adsorption of the inorganic ions in the solution, and the sample retained its high hydrophilicity for a long time. As the water contact angle decreased, the hard tissue formation ratio increased continuously up to 58 %, which was about four times higher than the hard tissue formation ratio on as-polished Ti.

A super-hydrophobic surface at a high temperature (400 °C) using the sol-gel method with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as precursors has been obtained. The effects of the coatings’ ages, deposited times and thicknesses on the hydrophobicity of the silica coatings have been analysed. The morphology, chemical composition, thermal degradation and hydrophobicity of the resulting surfaces have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transfer infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), Thermogravimetry (TGA) and water contact angle (WCA) measurement. The results show that an average water contact angle of 149° after been cured at 400 °C for a coating aged for 5 days, and four deposition cycles using a dipping rate of 1000 mm/min was achieved.
