Surface characteristics and biological response of titanium oxide layer formed via micro-arc oxidation in K3PO4 and Na3PO4 electrolytes
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of phosphate electrolytes on surface characteristics and biological response of the titanium oxide layer formed via micro-arc oxidation coating was demonstrated. And the results of simulated body fluid test showed that the precipitation and growth of amorphous calcium phosphate on the oxide layer was superior to that in the Na3PO4 electrolyte due to enhanced surface roughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The recent progress of tribological biomaterials
TL;DR: This work provides an overview of the tribological behaviors of artificial biomaterials including alloys, ceramics and polymers, while emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of tribological biommaterials.

Closed cell ZA27–SiC foam made through stir-casting technique
TL;DR: In this article, closed cell zinc aluminum alloy (ZA27) composite foam has been synthesized using conventional stir-casting technique and CaH2 as foaming agent and the density of the developed foam ranges from 0.25 to 0.45gm/cc due to the variation of CaH 2 percentage.

Effect of Zr Content on Phase Stability, Deformation Behavior, and Young's Modulus in Ti-Nb-Zr Alloys.
TL;DR: The lower limit content of Nb to suppress the martensitic transformation and to obtain a single β phase at room temperature decreased with increasing Zr content, and correlation among alloy composition, phase stability, and Young’s modulus was discussed.

Titanium alloys in total joint replacement—a materials science perspective
Marc Long,H.J Rack +1 more
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.
Book
Principles and prevention of corrosion
TL;DR: In this article, the technology and evaluation of Corrosion is presented, with a focus on the effects of Metallurgical Structure on Corrosions, and a discussion of materials selection and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.
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.
