In situ nitrided titanium alloys: Microstructural evolution during solidification and wear
TL;DR: In this paper, surface and subsurface structural evolution during sliding wear of two in situ nitrided titanium alloys, β Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta (TNZT) and α/β Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64), was studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy coupled with precession electron diffraction.

Zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional biomaterials for cell fate regulation.
TL;DR: The influence of different biomaterials on inducing cell self‐renewal, differentiation, reprogramming, dedifferentiation, and transdifferentiation was discussed based on the progress at 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D levels, and the current research limitations and research perspectives were provided.

Corrosion fatigue behavior of a biocompatible ultrafine-grained niobium alloy in simulated body fluid
TL;DR: Electrochemical measurements revealed stable passive behavior in SBF saline solutions, similar to conventional Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and excellent corrosion and corrosion fatigue properties of UFG NbZr recommend it as an attractive new material for biomedical implants.

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.

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.
