Enhancing the hardness/compression/damping response of magnesium by reinforcing with biocompatible silica nanoparticulates
TL;DR: In this article, low volume fraction silica nanoparticulate-containing magnesium composites targeting structural and biomedical applications were synthesized using the blend-press-sinter powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion, and subsequently characterized for their microstructural, mechanical and damping properties.

Microwave sintering of porous Ti-Nb-HA composite with high strength and enhanced bioactivity for implant applications
TL;DR: In this article, high order porous Ti-Nb(50-x)-HA(x) (x = 0,10,20 ) composites have been fabricated for orthopedic application by using powder metallurgical route consisting temporary space alloying and rapid microwave sintering process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of surface treatments on the fatigue life of titanium for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: The fatigue behaviour of annealed commercially pure titanium grade 4 was studied and Acid etching decreases the fatigue endurance, while the blasting and blasting + acid etching treatments showed a similar behaviour with respect to the reference condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current and future biocompatibility aspects of biomaterials for hip prosthesis
TL;DR: It is concluded that current materials have their confines and there is a need for more refined multi-functional materials to be developed in order to match the biocompatibility, metallurgical and mechanical complexity of the hip prosthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial surface design of biomedical titanium materials for orthopedic applications
TL;DR: This review will provide theoretical basis and technical support for the development of new Ti implant with antibacterial and osteogenic functions and highlighted the recent advances of the implants.

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.

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.
