Here alloy was modified by a two-step process: laser treatment followed by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). This aimed to create a rough surface enriched with bioelements such as sodium, phosphorus, and zinc. SEM analysis revealed a complex but uneven surface, suggesting good potential for further hybrid surface development. Laser treatment improved the alloy’s stability and corrosion resistance. Wettability tests confirmed full hydrophilicity, a key factor in cell response. Notably, the single- and double-modified samples without nZnO showed the best biological performance, likely due to their high hydrophilicity.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/medical applicationsbio-titaniumcorrosion resistanceTi6Al4VArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2025.139048info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
