文摘

•: TiO₂ nanotubes were grown via anodization, and were subsequently annealed.
•: Annealing at temperature 550 °C results in the growth of a thermal rutile oxide layer.
•: Corrosion resistance was significantly improved with higher annealing T.
•: Higher temperature annealing inhibits the growth of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.
•: Non-haemolytic behavior was observed for higher temperature annealed nanotubes.
