Silver (AgNPs) and maghemite, i.e., superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are promising candidates for new medical applications, which implies the need for strict information regarding their physicochemical characteristics and behavior in a biological environment. The currently developed AgNPs and SPIONs encompass a myriad of sizes and surface coatings, which affect NPs properties...

Implant-associated infections are notoriously difficult to treat and may even result in amputation and death. The first few days after surgery are the most critical time to prevent those infections, preferably through full eradication of the micro-organisms entering the body perioperatively. That is particularly important for patients with a compromised immune system such as orthopedic oncology...

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is proven as a scalable method for surface treatment of titanium (Ti) providing thick oxide layer with porous micro-nano morphology. Despite the lack antibacterial performance, this modification has potential to improve osseointegration properties Ti-based implant. To address limitation, we demonstrated new concept, showing that partial incorporation graphene...

In this work, carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) based on abalone mussel shells (Haliotis asinina) is synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The CHA was mixed with honeycomb (HCB) 40 wt.% for scaffold fabrication process. and CHA/HCB were used coating a Titanium (Ti) alloy electrophoretic deposition dip (EP2D) method immersion times of 10, 20, 30 min. B-type stirring time 45 min could have...

In this work, the challenges associated with formation of single and bilayer coatings based on Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) CuO modified BaCe0.5Zr0.3Y0.1Yb0.1O3?? (BCZYYbO-CuO) solid state electrolytes porous non-conducting NiO-SDC anode substrates by method electrophoretic deposition (EPD) are considered. Various approaches that had been selected after analysis literature data in order to carry out EP...

Abstract Laser surface modification of titanium alloys is one the main methods improving properties used in implantology. This study investigates microstructural morphology a laser-modified layer on Ti13Nb13Zr alloy with and without carbon nanotube coating deposited by electrophoretic deposition. was performed for samples two different laser powers 800 W 900 scan rates: 3 mm/s or 6 at 25 Hz, pu...
