This paper introduces a process for the growth of oxide nanorod, nanotube, and nanocable arrays that combines sol preparation and template-based electrophoretic deposition. Examples are shown that the sol electrophoretic deposition is an effective method for the formation of polycrystalline and single crystal oxide nanorod arrays, nanotube arrays and conformal coating of thin films of oxides on...

osseointegration has been the concern of implantology for many years. researchers have used various ceramic coatings for this purpose; however, piezoelectric ceramics (e.g., barium titanate [bto]) are a novel fi eld of interest. in this regard, bto (batio3 , bto) coating was fabricated by electrophoretic deposition on ti6al4v medical alloy, using sol-gel-synthesized nanometer bto powder. struct...

In the present study, hydroxyapatite-titania-graphene oxide (HA-TiO2-GO) nanostructured ternary composites were deposited on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by using electrophoretic deposition. The well-dispersed stable suspensions of hydroxyapatite particles with 20wt.% TiO2 and 0, 0.5, 1 2 wt.% GO prepared deposition was performed at an optimum voltage 20 V for 90 s. A novel linear approach fracturemechanics...

Titanium is a key biomedical material due to its good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and corrosion stability, but infections at the implantation site still pose a serious threat. One approach to prevent infection is to improve the antimicrobial ability of the coating material. Silver-doped hydroxyapatite (Ag/HAP) nanoparticles were synthesized by a new modified precipitation method. Th...

The development of rapid and simple wall coating strategies for high-efficiency electrophoretic separation of DNA is of crucial importance for the successful implementation of miniaturized polymeric DNA analysis systems. In this report, we characterize and compare different methods for the chemical modification of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces for the application of wall coating pol...

A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...
