To understand the effect of substrate microstructure on the formation of TiO2 nanotubes, anodic oxidizations of commercially pure titanium subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMATed-Ti) and unSMATed-Ti in a glycol solution containing NH4F and small amounts of water were investigated. The SMATed-Ti exhibit a nanocrystallized surface layer containing a high density of grain bound...

UNLABELLED New prostheses should be evaluated for stability and clinical performance. In a prospective randomized clinical trial, we implanted 22 titanium (Ti) and 20 hydroxyapatite-coated (HA) ProxiLock femoral hip prostheses during total hip arthroplasty in 42 patients. The patients were followed for 24 months with clinical, radiographic and radiostereometric analysis. Full weightbearing was ...

A cogent understanding of the microstructure, and indeed nano-structure, of hydroxyapatite (HA) and the interface between Ti-6Al-4V and HA is crucial to its appropriateness as a biomaterials. This paper reports the analysis of plasma-sprayed HA/Ti-6Al-4V composites by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to elucidate the intricate nature of...

In this paper, hydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube/titania (HA-CNT/TiO(2)) double layer coatings were successfully developed on titanium (Ti) substrates intended for biomedical applications. A TiO(2) coating was firstly developed by anodization to improve bonding between HA and Ti, and then the layer of HA and CNTs was coated on the surface by the sol-gel process to improve the biocompatibility and ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of surface properties of bone implants coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on platelets and macrophages upon implant installation and compare them to grit-blasted Ti and Thermanox used as a control. Surface properties were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, crystallography, Fourier ...

Abstract The investigated cast Ni50–Ti50 shape memory alloy was prepared using a vacuum arc furnace. samples were subjected to in-vitro biocompatibility studies according ISO 10993-12:2004, and compared other Ni–Ti orthodontic wires commercially available at the dental market. hydroxyapatite-coated electrodeposition technique. effect of surface treatment on coating quality addressed. electroche...

The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of binary Ti-xPt alloys containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% Pt were investigated in order to develop new Ti-based dental materials possessing superior properties than those of commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti). All of the Ti-xPt (x = 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys showed hexagonal α-Ti structure with cubic Ti₃Pt intermetallic phase. The mech...

Kinetic and DFT studies revealed that protonation of Ti-containing polyoxometalates (Ti-POM) lowers significantly the energy barrier for the heterolytic oxygen transfer from the Ti hydroperoxo intermediate to the alkene, increasing the activity and selectivity of alkene oxidation.

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...
