Abstract
Ordered perpendicular TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) with 405 to 952 nm length and 60 to 90 nm diameter were grown via 40 to 120 min anodization of Ti6Al4V flat substrates. The samples were called TNT-40, -60, -80, -100, and -120. Vancomycin was loaded on the bare and anodized electrodes by separate immersion and electrophoretic (EP) deposition procedures. EP loading resulted in storage capacity of 5221.86 μg cm-2 for TNT-80 which was much higher than 1036.75 μg cm-2 of immersed sample. Drug release comprised of three stages: (i) burst release (78% for the bare, and 23% for the TNT-80 sample), (ii) gradual transport (21% for the bare, and 64% for the TNT-80 sample), and (iii) equilibrium.
