In vitro study on cytocompatibility and osteogenesis ability of Ti-Cu alloy.

TL;DR: It was revealed that an addition of 5% Cu into pure Ti would not cause any negative effect on osteoblasts adhesion, proliferation and apoptosis cultured with Ti–Cu alloy, and Ti-Cu alloy could significantly promote the osteogenic differentiation of MG 63 cells by upregulating the osteogenesis-related gene expressions.

Influence of a large pulsed electron beam (LPEB) on the corrosion resistance of Ti−6Al−7Nb alloys

TL;DR: Pulsed electron-beam irradiation was used as a finishing process for Ti−6Al−7Nb titanium alloy to increase the corrosion resistance and surface hardness as discussed by the authors, which was attributed to an increase in the density of dislocations and a decrease in the fraction of the pre-dominant slip plane.

Fabrication of biomedical Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta alloys by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering

TL;DR: In this article, a biomedical alloys were fabricated by spark plasma sintering of nanocrystalline powders by mechanical alloying, and after 60 h milling, mixtures of respective elemental powders transformed into a homogeneous structure of completed β-Ti solid solution.

New biocompatible near-beta Ti-Zr-Nb alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion: Process optimization

TL;DR: In this article, the laser powder bed fusion parameters were determined for a novel biomedical Ti-18Zr-14Nb (at%) alloy using both analytical and experimental approaches, and a technological processing window corresponding to a 25-45 ǫ/mm3 energy density range and a 10-25 Ǫ/h build rate range was recommended for the fabrication of the fully dense Ti- 18Zr 14Nb alloy with improved surface roughness.

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.
