    The article focuses on titanium functionalizing and derivatizing reactions for implantable materials osseointegration properties enhancing. Thus, the titanium dioxide was activated to the titanium hydroxide (functionalization), being further immobilized on the titanium surface by ethanolamine covalent reactions and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTS) for the osseointegration membranes reactive coating. The derivatizing was based on ether forming reactions between hydroxyl group from the titanium hydroxide surface and the ethanolamine hydroxyl groups and hydrolyzed APTS respectively. The obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR infrared spectroscopy, contact angle and X-Ray fluorescence
