Abstract

The effect of raftiline inulin in presence of Ca2+ on titanium alloy as biomaterial was investigated in simulated body fluid solution at 37 °C. The behavior of Ti alloy was studied at different concentrations of inulin with immersion time using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. Ti alloy was effectively inhibited by the addition of 0.25% by weight raftiline in presence of 10−5 m calcium levulinate, which reacts with Ti alloy and forms a protective film on its surface. The results were confirmed by surface examination via scanning electron microscope. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
