Titanium behaves inert in the terms of its interaction with living tissue. Titanium implants are not usually rejected by the organism, nevertheless creation of the strong implant-bone bond can be long term and difficult process. Research aimed at applications of metallic biomaterials should be therefore focused on bioactivation of the implant surface, which could lead to faster and easier accep...

PURPOSE The present study introduced the application of cytodetachment technology--the examination of single cell responses to implant material surfaces--to the analysis of implant surfaces with a view to significantly improving upon conventional methods of studying cell interactions with implant surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS With the new cytodetachment technology, osteoblasts (MG-63) were ...

Abstract Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as dental implant materials because of their high mechanical properties, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance. This research was undertaken to study the effect polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) sealing layer on performance plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-coated titanium-based implants in pure saliva fluoride-containing solutions. The phas...

we explore electro-catalytic properties of a system consisting of platinum and palladium nanoparticles dispersed over a nanotubular self-organized tio2 matrix. these electrodes prepared by electroess and microemulsion of palladium and palladium nanoparticles on to tio2 nanotubes, respectively. titanium oxide nanotubes were fabricated by anodizing titanium foil in ethylene glycol (eg) fluoride-c...

mold powders are fluxing agents used as raw materials in the steel industry, which play very important role inprocessing stability and final surface quality of a product. surface quality depends particularly on the viscosity and the heat transfer of infiltrated mold flux between the mold wall and the solidified steel shell. heat flux across the interfacial gap depends on thermal properties of s...
