ABSTRACT: By photic-assisted deposition, Ag nanoparticles were assembled on
bioactive TiO2 nanotube arrays, which were fabricated
by anodic oxidation in 0.5 wt% NH4F solution containing 0.5 wt% Na2HPO4.
The samples were characterized by scanning electron mincroscope (SEM), X-ray
diffraction (XRD). Germiculture experimentation was employed to testing
samples’ antibacterial capability. An obvious antibacterial ring appeared
around the Ag modified samples, indicating that Ag modified
titania nanotube arrays has good antibacterial capability.
