Abstract: Based on the density functional theory, it adopts the first-principles method to calculate the ultra-hydrophilicity of oxidation titanium surface under different oxygen vacancy concentrations. The calculation results show that under the practically feasible oxygen vacancy concentration range, with the increase of the oxygen vacancy concentration, the ultra-hydrophilicity of oxidation titanium surface is increased, and the semiconductor type of the oxidation titanium is transformed from p type to n type. When the oxidation titanium surface is in contact with blood, the n-type semiconductor and the features of the electron state occupying the bottom of conduction band of the oxidation titanium surface can suppress the transfer of charge from the fibrinogen in the blood to the oxidation titanium surface so to suppress the aggregation and activation of blood platelet, thus improve the ultra-hydrophilicity of oxidation titanium surface on blood compatibility.

Keywords: oxidation titanium; oxygen vacancy; blood compatibility; electronic structure.
