Abstract Sol–gel derived hydroxyapatite coatings on metallic implants are important to promote their osseointegration and biocompatibility. However, such generally suffer from drawbacks that limit implant longevity. In this study, the sol gel process prepare was optimized used deposit a layer Ti6Al4V. Samples were pretreated by thermal oxidation, sol–gel coating, anodization produce titanium di...

Apatite layers were grown on the surface of newly developed starch/polycaprolactone (SPCL)-based scaffolds by a 3D plotting technology. To produce the biomimetic coatings, a sodium silicate gel was used as nucleating agent, followed by immersion in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. After growing a stable apatite layer for 7 days, the scaffolds were placed in SBF under static, agitated (80 ...

A round robin test has been performed on sol-gel processing for the deposition of silica and silica-titania films on silicon substrates by spin-coating. Three solution preparation processes for silica coatings and three for silica-titania coatings were used to prepare samples at each of the participating laboratories. The films have been characterized mainly by thickness (profilometry and ellip...

Superhydrophobic and oleophobic surfaces have attracted increasing attention because of their self-cleaning properties. A composite coating composed anodized titanium sol-gel (TiAO/SG) was developed has good superhydrophobic property. The prepared on the substrate then a layer coated surface to obtain with adhesion weight glycerol wire decreased 4.8% that untreated wire, which showed material h...
