Figure 7. 2008: The first ever equation that predicts the size of nanofeatures to implement on a medical device to change surface energy (left contact angle shows more hydrophobic and right shows more hydrophilic) to optimize initial protein adsorption that will control tissue growth, decrease infection, and limit inflammation (or scar tissue growth). Representative scanning electron microscope images of Ti-based implants are shown at Magnification = 40KX.
