Titanium and its alloys have good biocompatibility with body cells and tissues and are widely used for implant applications. However, clinical procedures place more stringent and tough requirements on the titanium surface necessitating artificial surface treatments. Among the many methods of titanium surface modification, electrochemical techniques are simple and cheap. Anodic oxidation is the ...

A technique that combines scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and scanning optical microscopy (OM) was developed. Simultaneous scanning electrochemical/optical microscopy (SECM/OM) was performed by a special probe tip, which consists of an optical fiber core for light passage, surrounded by a gold ring electrode, and an outermost electrophoretic insulating sheath, with the tip attached t...

Manganese ferrite nanoparticles were produced by applying the combustion technique using the manganese acetate and ferric nitrate as the starting material. Analytical techniques like FESEM and TEM were utilized to characterize the synthesized materials. The typical size was observed in the range of 12 to 14 nm with a cubic structure. The synthesized material was used as an electrochemical senso...

The synthesis of polyaniline- Fe2O3 nanocomposite coating on aluminum Alloy 5052 (AA5052) surface has been investigated by using the galvanostatic method. The anticorrosion performance of polyaniline-Fe2O3 coating was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution by the open- circuit potential (OCP), Tafel polarization technique and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The corrosion rate of polya...

Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) tec...

Due to increased awareness and interest in the biomedical implant field as a result of an aging population, research in the field of implantable devices has grown rapidly in the last few decades. Among the biomedical implants, metallic implant materials have been widely used to replace disordered bony tissues in orthopedic and orthodontic surgeries. The clinical success of implants is closely r...

This study presents a simple, label-free electrochemical technique for the monitoring of DNA ligase activity. DNA ligases are enzymes that catalyze joining of breaks in the backbone of DNA and are of significant scientific interest due to their essential nature in DNA metabolism and their importance to a range of molecular biological methodologies. The electrochemical behavior of DNA at mercury...
