Tri-Functional Calcium-Deficient Calcium Titanate Coating on Titanium Metal by Chemical and Heat Treatment

Bioactive Titanate Layers Formed on Titanium and Its Alloys by Simple Chemical and Heat Treatments

To reveal general principles for obtaining bone-bonding bioactive metallic titanium, Ti metal was heat-treated after exposure to a solution with different pH. The material formed an apatite layer at its surface in simulated body fluid when heat-treated after exposure to a strong acid or alkali solution, because it formed a positively charged titanium oxide and negatively charged sodium titanate...

Alternative technique for calcium phosphate coating on titanium alloy implants

As an alternative technique for calcium phosphate coating on titanium alloys, we propose to functionalize the metal surface with anionic bath containing chlorides of palladium or silver as activators. This new deposition route has several advantages such as controlled conditions, applicability to complex shapes, no adverse effect of heating, and cost effectiveness. A mixture of hydroxyapatite a...

Effects of vacuum infilteration dipping in calcium chloride and postharvest heat treatment on firmness and calcium content of apples

Enhancing Protein Incorporation in Calcium Phosphate Coating on Titanium by Rapid Biomimetic Co-Precipitation Technique

Calcium phosphate coating (CaP) has been employed for protein delivery, but the typical direct protein adsorption on the coating led to low incorporation content and fast release of the protein from the coating. By using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein, rapid biomimetic co-precipitation between calcium phosphate and BSA was employed to control the distribution of BSA within calciu...

Bioactive calcium phosphate coating prepared on H2O2-treated titanium substrate by electrodeposition

This study examined the characteristics of calcium phosphate coatings formed on untreated and H2O2-treated titanium substrates by electrodeposition in a modified simulated body fluid (SBF). A porous coating comprising of mainly hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed on the H2O2-treated titanium substrate by electrodeposition. This coating was transformed into carbonate and calcium-deficient HA layers w...
