Titanium/nanodiamond nanocomposites: Effect of nanodiamond on microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ND on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the Ti matrix was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and mechanical analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nano-hardness, wear resistance and pseudoelasticity of hafnium implanted NiTi shape memory alloy.

TL;DR: Hf implanted NiTi exhibited larger pseudoelastic recovery strain and retained better surface integrity even after being strained to 10% as demonstrated by in situ scanning electron microscope observation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement of microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of biomedical Ti-Mn alloys by Mo addition

TL;DR: In this article, Mo was added to Ti-Mn alloys to promote mechanical twinning and improve their ductility, which improved the elongation and tensile strength of TMM-53 and Ti-6Mn-3Mo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bifunctional galvanics mediated selective toxicity on titanium

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles and calcium were simultaneously introduced into a titanium surface to produce galvanics that facilitate cathodic proton consumption and anodic calcium release, which synergistically hinder bacterial adhesion by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic degradation of porous magnesium under a simulated environment of human cancellous bone

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dynamic flow on the degradation behavior and mechanical integrity of porous magnesium was studied and a dynamic immersion test was performed to assess the degradation rate of the material for bone scaffold application.

Titanium alloys in total joint replacement—a materials science perspective

TL;DR: This review examines current information on the physical and mechanical characteristics of titanium alloys used in artifical joint replacement prostheses, with a special focus on those issues associated with the long-term prosthetic requirements, e.g., fatigue and wear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface modification of titanium, titanium alloys, and related materials for biomedical applications

TL;DR: A review of surface modification techniques for titanium and titanium alloys can be found in this article, where the authors have shown that the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological properties can be improved selectively using the appropriate surface treatment techniques while the desirable bulk attributes of the materials are retained.

On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.

David F. Williams
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
