Ni–Ti shape memory alloys (Nitinol) are suitable for biomedical applications such as orthodontic, orthopedic, and cardiovascular implants. However, to avoid local inflammatory processes, efforts being made functionalize the surface of alloy with bioactive materials. Chitosan-based composite coatings can be applied improve properties due their excellent properties, low toxicity, biocompatibility...

We studied the mineralogy, petrology, and bulk, trace element, oxygen, and noble gas isotopic compositions of a composite clast approximately 20 mm in diameter discovered in the Larkman Nunatak (LAR) 04316 aubrite regolith breccia. The clast consists of two lithologies: One is a quench-textured intergrowth of troilite with spottily zoned metallic Fe,Ni which forms a dendritic or cellular struct...

applying a ni-p electroless coat on the surface of bn(h) particles has a beneficial effect on their wettability in vortex technique during composite manufacturing. in this investigation, different preliminary treatments consisting of different combinations of surface oxidation, sensitization and activation have been investigated. the results obtained from scanning electron microscope (sem) and ...
