Recent Progress in Ti-Based Metallic Glasses for Application as Biomaterials

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent progress in the development of Ti-based bulk metallic glasses for the application as biomaterials has been presented, and the composites with hydroxyapatite, as well as porous glassy alloys having approximate Young's modulus with that of bone were developed.

Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) of Nitride Reinforced Titanium Alloy Composites (Postprint)

TL;DR: In this article, a new class of nitride reinforced titanium alloy composites is proposed, which includes precipitates of the delta-TiN phase with the NaCl structure, equiaxed (or globular) precipitations of a nitrogen enriched hcp alpha(Ti,N) phase with a c/a ratio more than what is expected for pure hcp Ti, and fine scale plate-shaped precipitates with a bcc Beta matrix.

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.
