TL;DR: It is shown that the protein charge strongly influences their adhesion to the TiO2 nanostructures, and a quantitative surface charge model is used to describe charge interactions and obtain an increased magnitude of the surface charge density at the top edges of the nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dealloying-based interpenetrating-phase nanocomposites matching the elastic behavior of human bone.
TL;DR: A new materials design strategy towards metal-polymer composites that are based on constituents with established biocompatibility and that can be matched to bone is reported, suggesting that the novel composite materials may provide the basis for promising future implant materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatible low Young's modulus achieved by strong crystallographic elastic anisotropy in Ti–15Mo–5Zr–3Al alloy single crystal
TL;DR: It is determined that β-Ti alloys with extremely low moduli can be developed by reducing the electron-atom (e/a) ratio in alloys, and by suppressing the formation of the ω-phase at the same time.
Journal ArticleDOI
First principles theoretical investigations of low Young's modulus beta Ti-Nb and Ti-Nb-Zr alloys compositions for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: The theoretical results suggest that the addition of Nb in Ti and Zr in Ti-Nb increases the stability of the β-phase, and the directional Young's moduli of these two selected binary and ternary alloy compositions are found to be nearly isotropic in all crystallographic directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the tool wear mechanisms in dry and cryogenic turning Additive Manufactured titanium alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effectiveness of this cooling strategy in comparison with dry cutting in semi-finishing turning different Ti6Al4V microstructural variants produced by two additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, namely Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM).

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
