Table 1 The table depicts the chemical and physical parameters characterizing the implant and envelopes materials. The first 3 rows show the values related to nano-roughness of Ti, Si and PTFE as µ-Ra, while second three rows list values related to fibers diameter and porosity of the envelope materials. Water static contact angle measurements of all materials are shown in the right column. Values related to all the measurements are presented as mean ± sd among three replicates.
