Abstract
A method for formation of monolithic nanostructures on an implantable device includes: a. depositing a metal film to a surface of the implantable device; b. heating the metal film for a period of time, such that the metal film transforms into multiple discrete nanoparticles, the multiple nanoparticles thereby forming an etch mask on the surface of the implantable device; c. etching the implantable device such that the surface of the implantable device is etched through the etch mask, thereby forming monolithic nanostructures in the surface of the implantable device; and d. (optionally) removing the etch mask, such as by immersion in an aqua regia solution.
