Mechanical, bactericidal and osteogenic behaviours of hydrothermally synthesised TiO2 nanowire arrays.The application of orthopaedic implants is associated with risks of bacterial infection and long-term antibiotic therapy.  In this research, various nano-textured surfaces of TiO2 were synthesised using hydrothermal synthesis, by varying NaOH concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature.
