Comparison of wear properties of commercially pure titanium prepared by selective laser melting and casting processes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the wear properties of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) parts produced using selective laser melting (SLM) and casting, and they found that SLM-produced CP-Ti parts have martensitic (α΄) microstructure, whereas cast-produced PC-Ti samples exhibit plate-like (α)-microstructure.
Journal ArticleDOI

High throughput methods applied in biomaterial development and discovery

TL;DR: The literature in this area is reviewed and it is concluded that for polymers this process is best achieved in a microarray format, which enable thousands of cell-material interactions to be monitored on a single chip.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone formation controlled by biologically relevant inorganic ions: role and controlled delivery from phosphate-based glasses.

TL;DR: The role of the most significant ions, namely calcium, zinc, strontium, magnesium, boron, titanium and also phosphate anions as well as copper and its role in angiogenesis, an important process interlinked with osteogenesis are reviewed.

Nanoindentation and wear properties of Ti and Ti-TiB composite materials produced by selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used nanoindentation to evaluate the elastic modulus and hardness properties of the Ti and Ti-TiB composite materials, and showed that the results showed that there is a high degree of consistency between the characterization using nanoinfentation and the wear evaluation from conventional wear tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical Behavior of Porous Commercially Pure Ti And Ti–TiB Composite Materials Manufactured By Selective Laser Melting

TL;DR: In this article, selective laser melting (SLM) was used to produce commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti-TiB composite parts with three different porosity levels (i.e., 10, 17, and 37%).

Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030.

TL;DR: These large projected increases in demand for total hip and knee arthroplasties provide a quantitative basis for future policy decisions related to the numbers of orthopaedic surgeons needed to perform these procedures and the deployment of appropriate resources to serve this need.

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.
