TiO <sub>2</sub> Nanotubes Decorated with Ag and Zn Nanoparticles on CP-Ti for Biomedical Applications: Evaluation of Electrochemical and Antibacterial Behavior against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
O and ZnO, which generate stable passivation regions and reinforce the corrosion barrier. Antibacterial assays showed inhibition zones of 4.0 ± 0.8 mm for Ag.NTT and 1.3 ± 0.8 mm for Zn.NTT. These results demonstrate that Zn.NTT provides a combination of enhanced corrosion resistance and antibacterial action, highlighting its potential use for titanium-based biomedical implants.
