Using bioactive and biocompatible coatings to biofunctionalized metallic implant surfaces for enhanced bone regeneration while resisting bacterial infection has attracted materials scientists' interest. Bio-metallic Ti-25Zr disc sample was prepared using powder metallurgy then coated an electrospinning method form a nanocomposite fiber as coating layer over the surface of metal alloy substrate....

Abstract We report the first findings of several occurrences lawsonite and metamorphic aragonite in meta-sediments from Combin Zone (Piemonte–Liguria ocean, Western Alps), where early blueschist-facies episode is poorly documented. New field data (thermodynamic modelling Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material) are used to elucidate P–T evolution fluid composition investigate growth breakdo...

Five main apatite deposits from the Moroccan Central High-Atlas —including Anemzi, Tirrhist-Inouzane, Tassent, Ait-Daoud-Toumliline and Tasraft— have been investigated through integrated field, petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical studies. The ore occurs as veins, few mm to several cm thick, spatially associated with syenite-quartz monzonite (dominant) monzodiorite-gabbrodiorite bodies empl...

Post-collisional mafic dykes crosscut the Paleozoic metamorphic basement and late-Variscan plutons in Les Guilleries massif (Catalan Coastal Ranges, NE Iberia). The predominance of phenocrysts, porphyritic texture, abundant amphibole, high MgO volatile content, together with crustal-like trace-element patterns indicate that correspond to calc-alkaline lamprophyres, mainly spessartites. Their en...

Magmatic differentiation produces positive correlations between δ49Ti and SiO2. The equilibrium Ti isotope fractionation factors of Ti-bearing minerals are essential for understanding the mechanisms driving this isotopic fractionation. We present ab initio-derived mean force constants (barium orthotitanate, potassium titanium oxide, fresnoite, diopside, geikielite, karrooite, titanite, pseudobr...

Abstract Egypt is characterized by a wide variety of granitic rocks, making it one the most essential ten countries producing ornamental stones worldwide. The main objective this article to study effect chemical and mineralogical variations rocks on their thermal expansion behaviors physico-mechanical properties for use as dimension stones. assessment these was performed using two parameters: f...

The Wadhrai granite stock is a part of the Nagar Parkar Igneous Complex, an extension Neoproterozoic Malani Suite western Rajasthan. It occupied by petrographically uniform comprising perthite, plagioclase, quartz, with small quantities biotite, opaque oxides, titanite, and secondary minerals. rocks are sparingly porphyritic contain dykes microgranite, aplite, rare pegmatite. In south-central p...

The incipient phases of continental rift development remain enigmatic, as early sequences are rarely exposed, or poorly preserved in the geologic record. Here, we present petrographic and geochemical analyses heavy mineral separates from pervasively weathered volcanic horizons intercalated within syn-rift sedimentary deposits Rukwa Rift Basin, southwestern Tanzania. These Oligocene (25–26 Ma) a...

Abstract Rapakivi-type quartz monzonite and the underlying dark-grey granodiorite from Pietkowo IG1 borehole, in Polish part of southernmost Fennoscandia have been investigated using whole-rock geochemistry, Sm–Nd isotope geochemistry U–Pb zircon dating. The was emplaced at 1495–1491 Ma, although slightly older cores (antecrysts) 1513 Ma imply a two-stage crystallization. geochemical similariti...
