Abstract:
Nanoporous titania (nPTI) has been prepared by electrochemical processes and functionalized by photochemical activation of condensed acrylic acid vapors (AcAc). The nPTI surfaces obtained after electrochemical etching in HF electrolytes at constant potential consisted of nanotube disordered arrays. Elastic recoil detection and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy studies confirm the presence of an in-depth carbon based layer, previous to the AcAc polymerization. The subsequent AcAc functionalization affected only a few molecular monolayers since the process did not modify the nPTI structure observed by scanning electron microscopy. In fact, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the presence of a carboxylic group contribution in the C 1s core-level spectrum only after AcAc polymerization of nPTI. Such results are of relevance for cellular attachment of human mesenchymal stem cells, whose adhesion onto nPTI is drastically enhanced after AcAc biofunctionalization.
