[ 1 ] - A review on the prevalent fabrication methods, microstructural, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of nanostructured hydroxyapatite containing bilayer and multilayer coatings used in biomedical applications

Surface treatments of the biomaterials are of great interest in many biomedical applications. Hydroxyapatite is a favorable candidate for surface modification of the implants. To date, a wide variety of methods have been developed to produce bio-active/biocompatible coatings with desirable features in order to improve the performance of the implants. This paper strives to overview the present p...

[ 2 ] - New-emerging approach for fabrication of near net shape aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites: Ultrasonic additive manufacturing

Recently, high-performance lightweight materials with outstanding mechanical properties have opened up their way to some sophisticated industrial applications. As one of these systems, aluminum matrix composites/nanocomposites (AMCs) offer an outstanding combination of relative density, hardness, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Until now, several additive manufacturing methods have be...

[ 3 ] - Influence of aging temperature on phase transformation and mechanical behavior of NiTi thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering technique

In this study, NiTi thin films were deposited on the glass and NaCl substrates by means of magnetron sputtering method. The influence of aging temperature, over the range 300-500 oC, on phase transformation and mechanical properties of the sputtered NiTi thin films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nano-indentation assay, respectively. The DSC curves showed that the ag...
