The main causes of biomedical implant failure are loosening and infection, which may require revision surgery. The project has the potential to solve these widespread and expensive problems by formation of a coating of strongly (chemically) bonded and photocatalytically active titania on the titanium implant surface and short-term low-dose X-irradiation. This work has the potential to provide the biomedical industry with a revolutionary development in both implant coating design and quality with self-disinfection capacity after implantation.

生物医学植入物失效的主要原因是松动和感染，这可能需要翻修手术。该项目有可能通过在钛植入物表面形成强（化学）结合和光催化活性的二氧化钛涂层和短期低剂量X射线照射来解决这些广泛和昂贵的问题。这项工作有可能为生物医学行业提供植入物涂层设计和质量的革命性发展，植入后具有自消毒能力。
