Multifunctional Ceramic Thin Films for High-Performance Orthopaedic Implants

Bianchi M., Lopomo N., Boi M., Maltarello M.C., Liscio F., Marcacci M., Russo A., Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, IT

We describe here the deposition via a novel sputter-based electron deposition technique of functional ceramic thin films on the surface of the two main components of an orthopaedic implant: the load-bearing component and the segment [...]

Phenomena of Nanotube Formation on the Surface of Cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, and Ti-Ta alloys

Lee K., Choe H.C., Ko Y.M., Brantley W.A., Chosun University, KR

In this study, the phenomena of nanotube formation on the surface of Ti alloys by electrochemical method. Nanotube layer formed on Ti alloys in 1 M H3PO4 and 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte with small additions [...]

Nanotube Formation and Surface Study of New Ternary Titanium Alloys

Choe H.C., Ko Y.M., Brantley W.A., Chosun University, KR

New titanium alloys with improved biocompatibility have been developed for dental and biomedical applications. The osseointegration of implants depends on surface properties of these alloys; nature of the oxide film at the metal-oxide-bone. Also stress [...]
