Due to their good properties, including biodegradability and similar characteristics natural bone, magnesium alloys have potential applications in implant manufacturing for biomedicine orthopedics.In this study, chitosan or/and hydroxyapatite layers were performed on the surface of AZ91 alloy using electrophoretic deposition process. The microstructure coating, mechanical hydrogen evolution, pH...

In this communication, we report a facile nanotopographical control over a stainless steel surface via an electrophoretic deposition of colloidal amphiphilic chitosan for preferential growth, proliferation or migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Atomic force microscopy revealed that the colloidal surface exhibited a deposition ti...

nanosized tio2 particles were prepared by sol–gel method. the tio2 particles were co-deposited with chromium using electrodeposition technique. in investigating of coating surfaces by scanning electron microscope (sem), the results showed that the morphology of the coating surface was changed by adding tio2 nanoparticles to the chromium coating. the corrosion behavior of the coatings was assess...

The study highlights the corrosion behavior of untreated and treated tantalum with addition trimanganese tetraoxide (Mn3O4) nanoparticles in simulated inflammatory media. anodic layer was produced on pure by anodization electrolytes composed ammonium fluoride, ethylene glycol, water. Nanoparticles were deposited uniformly surface anodized electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. results reveale...

BACKGROUND Plasma-spray deposition of hydroxyapatite on titanium (Ti) has proven to be a suboptimal solution to improve orthopedic-implant success rates, as demonstrated by the increasing number of orthopedic revision surgeries due to infection, implant loosening, and a myriad of other reasons. This could be in part due to the high heat involved during plasma-spray deposition, which significant...

The aim of this study was to evaluate hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings produced by dynamic voltage during electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Dynamic voltages from 0 to 200 V were incrementally applied in three interims. The as-deposited coating was sintered at 800 degrees C and its properties evaluated. Structure and phase analyses of both as-deposited and sintered coatings were evaluated by scannin...

The aim of the present research is to convert bioinert surface of NiTi to bioactive and biocompatible surface. In order to develop a bioactive and corrosion resistant film on NiTi, electrophoretic deposition process was done and TiO2 particles were deposited on the NiTi surface. Suspensions including TiO2 particles were prepared using a mixture of acetone and n-butanol (0%, 30%, 60%, 80% and 10...

PURPOSE Main aim of the present study was to test and show the dissolution of coatings onto Ti6Al4V pedicle screws by both in vitro and in vivo analysis. METHODS Hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated on Ti6Al4V by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The dissolution of the coatings was tested in vitro. The coating was characterized before and after implantation via pull-out tests, X-ray diffraction (XR...

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 field of interest. In this regard, BTO (BaTiO3) coating was fabricated by electrophoretic deposition on Ti6Al4V medical alloy, using sol-gel-synthesized nanometer BTO powder. Structure and...
