Abstract:
Fabrication of implants with drug-eluting properties for locally delivering drugs is an attractive way to address some of implant rejecting factors. To improve biomedical properties of titanium implant TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) are considered as biocompatible ceramic coating for localized sustainable drug releasing implants. This study highlights the effect of uniformity of nanotube array on localized drug delivery platforms through different morphologies. Regular TNTs (RTNT) and Irregular TNTs (ITNT) with respectively 80 and 100 nm in diameter and 3 and 5 µm in length were synthesized on Ti-6Al-4V surfaces by electrochemical anodization and loaded with the water-soluble Aminopenicillanic acid (APA) drug. The different morphologies were proved using FESEM images for as prepared samples. Similar phase structures and optical properties were observed for both samples by using XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy analysis. The results suggest that TNT with regular arrays has great potential for improving APA drug release. Therefore, the results revealed that the drug release can be easily altered by changing the uniformity and morphology of TNTs.
