Both Enhanced Biocompatibility and Antibacterial Activity in Ag-Decorated TiO2 Nanotubes
Figure 10
Optical densities (OD) measured after the culture of human fibroblast cells on the as-grown and Ag-decorated TiO2 nanotubes of different diameters.
Cell proliferation was lowest for the largest diameter of 100-grown and Ag-decorated TiO2 nanotubes. Meanwhile, the 25-nm-diameter Ag-decorated sample showed the highest OD value of all nanotube samples. Data were means ±SE of three independent experiments (*p<0.01).
