A Modified Porous Titanium Sheet Prepared by Plasma-Activated Sintering for Biomedical Applications

A Modified Porous Titanium Sheet Prepared by Plasma-Activated Sintering for Biomedical Applications

This study aimed to develop a contamination-free porous titanium scaffold by a plasma-activated sintering within an originally developed TiN-coated graphite mold. The surface of porous titanium sheet with or without a coated graphite mold was characterized. The cell adhesion property of porous titanium sheet was also evaluated in this study. The peak of TiC was detected on the titanium sheet pr...

Novel Titanium Manganese Alloys and Their Macroporous Foams for Biomedical Applications Prepared by Field Assisted Sintering

In this chapter, a novel titanium (Ti) alloy and foam suitable for biomedical applications will be introduced. As we know, Ti and its alloys are widely used as biomaterials especially for orthopedic implants in load bearing sites as dental and orthopedic implants and heart valves, due to their high mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility (Geetha et al., 2009). Pure Ti w...

Microstructure, mechanical properties and superelasticity of biomedical porous NiTi alloy prepared by microwave sintering.

Porous NiTi alloys were prepared by microwave sintering using ammonium hydrogen carbonate (NH4HCO3) as the space holder agent to adjust the porosity in the range of 22-62%. The effects of porosities on the microstructure, hardness, compressive strength, bending strength, elastic modulus, phase transformation temperature and superelasticity of the porous NiTi alloys were investigated. The result...
