Abstract

Titania (TiO2) nanotube gaining predominance as a bioceramic due to its excellent features such as high specific surface area and exhibiting appropriate cellular response. At present, we showed a conversion from titania nanoparticle to nanotube by hydrothermal treatment with 10M soduim hydroxide and 1M HC1 solutions at 150°C over 48h. Then the sample annealed at various temperatures. Results indicate the reaction temperature is a main factor in determining the aspect ratio of the tubes. FESEM image conformed the synthesis of nanotube. In vitro study by using 150 °C-Synthesized nanotube calcined at different temperatures are also presented establishing the potential of nanotubes in biomedical applications. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
