Bioceramic coatings like hydroxyapatite (HA) have shown promising bioactive properties in load-bearing implant applications. The aim of this work is to deposit functionally graded HA/Ti layers consisting of an underlying Ti bond coat, the alternating layer, and an HA top-layer on Ti6Al4V substrates using plasma spray to improve the coating-substrate interface properties. The alternating layers ...

Composites based on PLA with the addition of 3, 6 and 10 wt% silica, hydroxyapatite bentonite were obtained by twin-screw extrusion. Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene was used to enhance interface interactions. The influence fillers Charpy impact strength, Rockwell hardness, tensile properties processing shrinkage investigated. Test samples 3D printing. highest strength hardness for composi...

Titanium and hydroxyapatite are widely used as materials for implants. has good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, a high modulus of elasticity. Hydroxyapatite biocompatibility, bioactivity, significant osteoinductivity. In this study, powder metallurgy was method to combine titanium use in Shellac binder between ceramic metal due its lower melting point. The surface morphology chemic...

Two-step thermal oxidation was proposed for Ti and Ti alloys as a surface-treatment process for preparing an anatase-containing TiO2 layer. This process consisted of treatment in a CO-containing atmosphere (first step) and subsequent treatment in air (second step). In this chapter, first, the current status of TiO2 coating onto Ti and Ti alloys for biomedical applications is reviewed; then our ...

INTRODUCTION With the increase in joint revision surgery after arthroplasty, defects of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated prostheses have been observed increasingly often. These defects adversely affect the prosthetic stability in vivo. This study has analyzed the potential effect of the adhesive strength of HA coating on the stability of HA-coated prostheses in vivo after its implantation. MATERIAL...

A first report on the fabrication of nanocomposite scaffolds containing nano-hydroxyapatite/carboxymethyl chitosan/β-cyclodextrin heterojunctions fused with date seed extract for bone tissue engineering applications.

Ni57Zr22X8Nb8Al5 (X = Ti, Cu) metallic glass (MG) and nanocomposite powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying. Outstanding differences in glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal property, particle size and crystallization behavior were found for the two synthesized alloy powders with different alloying substitutions. The Ti-containing MG powder exhibits better GFA, higher thermal stability, ...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is commonly used to coat titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) for orthopedic implants. However, their poor adhesion strength and insufficient long-term stability limit their application. Novel sphene (CaTiSiO5) ceramics possess excellent chemical stability and cytocompatibility. The aim of this study is to use the novel sphene ceramics as coatings for Ti-6Al-4V. The sol-gel method w...

Modern day tissue engineering and cellular therapies have gravitated toward using stem cells with scaffolds as a dynamic modality to aid in differentiation and tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most studied stem cells used in combination with scaffolds. These cells differentiate along the osteogenic lineage when seeded on hydroxyapatite containing scaffolds and c...
