摘要

The multifactorial investigation of nanosecond laser-textured Ti6Al4V for anti-adhesive characteristics is inadequate. The present work investigated the adhesion of S. aureus and E. coli on a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) textured Ti6Al4V surfaces. Cross-grooves with 2 µm microchannels with increased Ti2p3/2 Ti4+ and Ti2p1/2 Ti4+ concentrations exhibit 99.3% and 82.2% reduction in growth of E. coli and S. aureus respectively, relative to untreated samples. Furthermore, the deep groove sample renders 99.9% reduction in growth of E. coli relative to untreated sample. S. aureus adhesion was governed by TiO2 layer & topography, whereas E. coli adhesion was influenced by wettability and the surface roughness of the TiO2 layer. S. aureus adhered at valleys between the grooves whereas E. coli cells aligned across the ridges. The study reveals the potential of ns-laser for tailoring surface properties to achieve an ideal implant surface.
