A new antibacterial titanium-copper sintered alloy: preparation and antibacterial property.
TL;DR: Results showed that Ti2Cu phase and Cu-rich phase were synthesized in the Ti-Cu sintered alloy, which significantly increases the hardness and the compressive strength compared with cp-Ti and slightly improves the corrosion resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Cu content on the antibacterial activity of titanium–copper sintered alloys
TL;DR: It was concluded that the Cu content affects the Cu existence and the Cu ion release behavior, which in turn influences the antibacterial property.
