Notes:
Previously, various surface treatments have been used to enhance the ability of titaniumsurfaces to induce calcium phosphate (Ca-P) formation in simulated body fluid (SBF). However,there were no systematic investigations on the key factors of the surface treatments to control suchability. In this work, three factors are studied for their roles in controlling Ca-P precipitation inSBF: surface roughness, surface chemistry and surface energy. Four kinds of single-step chemicaltreatments on Ti surfaces were carried out, including alkali treatment (AT), nitric acid treatment(NT), hydrogen peroxide treatment (HPT), and heat treatment. The experimental results show thatthe surface energy is the most likely controlling factor of Ca-P formation ability
