Magnesium alloys are highly attractive for the use as temporary implant materials, due to their high biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, prediction of degradation rate implants is difficult, therefore, a large number experiments required. Computational modelling can aid in enabling predictability, if sufficiently accurate models be established. This work presents generalized model p...

Abstract Pure iron is very attractive as a biodegradable implant material due to its high biocompatibility. In combination with additive manufacturing, which facilitates great flexibility of the design, it possible selectively adjust microstructure in process, thereby control corrosion and fatigue behavior. present study, conventional hot-rolled (HR) pure compared manufactured by electron beam ...

for the purposes of this study, hydroxyapatite (ha)-al2o3-tio2 nanobiocomposites with significant mechanical properties, biocompatibility and capability to form surface apatite were fabricated by cold pressing and sintering. samples were examined for their compressive strengths. the results of compression experiments showed that sample a (50 wt.% tio2-30 wt.% ha- 20 wt.% al2o3) was superior com...

Si-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coatings ranging from 0 to 2 at % Si were deposited on Ti-alloy substrate by means of radio frequency plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (r.f. PACVD) technique, using a mixture of benzene (C(6)H(6)) and silane (SiH(4)) as the reaction gas. The synergy in wear and corrosion of Si-DLC coatings was investigated by tribological and electrochemical...

The isolation and preconcentration of estrogens from new types of biological samples (acellular and protein-free simulated body fluid) by molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction has been described. In this technique, supramolecular receptors, namely molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are used as a sorbent material. The recognition sites of MIPs were prepared by non-covalent multiple int...
