in this research, the thin films of n-s doped titanium dioxide (tio2) were successfully prepared by simple sol-gel method in the presence of tetrabutylorthotitanate as a starting reagent. furthermore, titanium dioxide (tio2) was functionalized with thiourea. furthermore, n-s doped titanium dioxides (nsto) were fixed on glass balls by glass balls fixed-bed reactor system. besides, the effect of ...

In this study the use titanium and tungsten as alternatives to the noble metals in the jewellery industry was investigated. The degradation of titanium and tungsten were compared to that of gold, used as reference. Alternate immersion tests were performed in 3.5% sodium chloride and artificial perspiration. The metals’ abrasion resistance with respect to textile fabrics was determined. ...

AIM The aim of the study was to comparatively analyze the in vitro cell adhesion between nano coated titanium dioxide, and calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nano coated titanium dioxide, and calcium HA were coated onto the titanium samples by drop casting with NAFION membrane and cell culture was done by seeding human osteoblastic sarcoma cells on the ...

INTRODUCTION Treatment of osteoporotic fractures is still challenging and an urgent need exists for new materials, better adapted to osteoporotic bone by adjusted Young's modulus, appropriate surface modification and pharmaceuticals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Titanium-40-niobium alloys, mechanically ground or additionally etched and titanium-6-aluminium-4-vanadium were analyzed in combination wit...

TITANIUM is a low-density element (approximately 60% of the density of steel and superalloys) that can be strengthened greatly by alloying and deformation processing. (Characteristic properties of elemental titanium are given in Table 2.1.) Titanium is nonmagnetic and has good heat-transfer properties. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is somewhat lower than that of steel and less than half ...

INTRODUCTION: The majority of interbody devices for spine fusion are PEEK. Other interbody devices use a rough 2D titanium surface or full porous titanium or tantalum cores, which have been shown in-vitro and in-vivo to promote osteoinduction and osteointegration, respectively. Combining the increased osteogenic environment that titanium provides and the minimized subsidence and radiolucency fr...

OBJECTIVES To research the crystal structure and surface morphology of anodic films on titanium metal in different electrolytes under various electrochemical conditions and investigate the effect of the crystal structure of the oxide films on apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid (SBF). METHODS Titanium oxide films were prepared using an anodic oxidation method on the surface of tit...

A major consideration in designing dental implants is the creation of a surface that provides strong attachment between the implant and bone, connective tissue, or epithelium. In addition, it is important to inhibit the adherence of oral bacteria on titanium surfaces exposed to the oral cavity to maintain plaque-free implants. Previous in vitro studies have shown that titanium implant surfaces ...
