Nanotextured surfaces

SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF DISTANCE DEPENDENCE OF ENHANCEMENT AND INCREASED COVERAGE ARTIFACTS ON NANOTEXTURED SURFACES... 

However, nanotextured surfaces without an underlying microstructure may not have good osteointegration. For example, when purely nanostractured smfaces were implanted into rat femurs, there was a period of bony ingrowth into the nanoarchitecture. However, the implant—bone interface was weak and was disrupted by the gross motion of the rat. When nanoscale architecture was combined with the imderlying microstructure, there was significant improvement in both bone matrix... 

Applications of Nanotextured Surfaces Three-dimensional Aspects of Nanofabrication... 

This chapter provides an overview of the latest achievements in research fields that are relevant to the fast expanding field of nanotextured surfaces and discusses possible applications of these surfaces.This chapter provides a better understanding of the mechanisms and mode of operation of nanotextured surfaces in various applications rather than thoroughly reviewing the expanding array of research in this area. 

In this chapter, several applications of nanotextured surfaces, many of which can exhibit superhydrophobic properties, were reviewed.
