A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...

The effect of electropulsing on the corrosion cracking titanium aluminide produced by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis has been investigated. treatment led to improved resistance in sodium fluoride solution and also eliminated at α2/γ interface during a nitric hydrofluoric acids. This behavior was attributed thermal athermal effects resulting from leading interaction conduction elect...

Viscous heating becomes significant in the high speed resin coating process of glass fibers for optical fiber manufacturing. This study focuses on the coating resin flows inside the capillary coating die of optical fiber coating applicator and they are numerically simulated to examine the effects of viscous heating and subsequent temperature increase in coating resin. Resin flows are driven by ...

In this study, an attempt was made to improve the packing density of calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on a magnesium alloy by tailoring the coating solution for enhanced degradation resistance of the alloy for implant applications. An organic solvent, ethanol, was added to the coating solution to decrease the conductivity of the coating solution so that hydrogen bubble formation/bursting reduces...

in this research, tribological characteristics of ni-p electroless coating and double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating were studied. for this purpose, ni-p electroless coating with 25 μm thickness was initially applied to the surface of steel ck45 samples; then, a double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating, including inner layer of ni-p with 15 μm thickness and outer layer of ni-b with 1...

Biomimetic calcium phosphate (CaP) coating has been used successfully for protein delivery, but the release of protein from CaP coating is mainly dependent on the limited dissolution of the CaP coating and the passive diffusion of the protein in the CaP coating. In the present work, our aim is to improve the release behavior of protein from CaP coating and make it more controllable. By using bo...

poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite (pbgha) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/ bioactive glass (pbg) nanocomposite coatings with bone. materials and methods: sol-gel derived 58s bioactive glass nanoparticles, 50/50 wt% poly (lactic acid)/poly (glycolic acid) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were used to prepare the coatings. the nanocomposite coatings were characterized by ...
