Ti and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for biomedical applications. However, bacterial infection after implant placement is still one of the significant rising complications. Therefore, the application of the antimicrobial agents into implant surfaces to prevent implant-associated infection has attracted lots of attentions. Scientific papers have shown that inorganic antibacteri...

To prevent Cr poisoning of the cathode and to retain high conductivity during solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operation, Cu or La doped Co-Mn coatings on a metallic interconnect is deposited and followed by oxidation at 750 ◦C. Microstructure and composition of coatings after preparation and oxidation is analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). High energy micro ...

Biocoatings were formed on the surface of Mg0.8Ca alloy by method micro-arc oxidation, in an electrolyte containing β-Ca3(PO4)2 (β-TCP) and CaSiO3, When process voltage was varied range 350–500 V, thickness, roughness, mass coatings increased to values 110 µm, 12 11 mg, respectively. The presence following crystalline phases determined coatings: α-TCP, wollastonite, forsterite magnesium oxide. ...

Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are widely used for anti-wear protection of metals, they usually contain lots pores and exhibit high coefficient friction. In this work, porous MAO consisting Al2TiO5 were fabricated on the titanium substrate, then Ni-P Ni-P-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited via electroless plating to fill improve tribological performance. Electroless has wear ...

Recently, biofilm formation caused by bacterial adhesion and colonization has been recognized as the major cause of failure in orthopedic dental implant surgeries. In this study, a customized micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment technique was developed to obtain desirable antibacterial properties on Ti surfaces. The two-step MAO applied fabrication specimens with Ag with/without Zn their surface...
