This study selects titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as far-infrared materials (FIRMs), further adds water-based acrylic coatings to prepare (FIRCs). FIRCs are uniformly coated on #304 stainless steel sheets make the test samples, which then installed between shell insulation material of hot water heater measure influences various performance heater. The researc...

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the microstructure, mechanical and technological properties (formability weldability in solid state) sheet blanks made titanium alloy VT6, developed specifically for superplastic forming diffusion bonding (SPF / DB) PJSC VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation using various technologies. The conducted studies have it possible to establish that sheets VT6 with diffe...

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of collagen coating on titanium on the initial attachment of human gingival fibroblasts for the development of the implant with periimplant soft tissue attachment. The morphological changes of cultured human gingival fibroblasts were investigated by scanning electron microcopy (SEM). Four different surfaces, i.e. non-coated mirror-polished tita...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether photofunctionalization of titanium mesh enhances its osteoconductive capability. MATERIALS AND METHODS The titanium mesh (0.2 mm thickness) used in this study was made of commercially pure grade-2 titanium and had hexagonal apertures (2 mm width). Photofunctionalization was performed by treating titanium mesh with UV light for 12 minutes u...

This photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide laboratory experiment is designed for an advanced undergraduate chemistry or chemical engineering majors laboratory course. It introduces the science of emerging sustainable energy technologies through hands-on experimentation. By photo-irradiating a glass flask containing water, catalyst, and carbon dioxide, students explore the potential of new...

Flocculation with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl(4)) and titanium sulfate (Ti(SO(4))(2)) was investigated in terms of different coagulant doses, pH, turbidity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV-254, colour, zeta potential, particle size and molecular weight distribution. The two coagulants were compared with the commonly used coagulants such as ferric chloride (FeCl(3)) and aluminium sulfate (Al...

BACKGROUND Although biomimetic apatite coating is a promising way to provide titanium with osteoconductivity, the efficiency and quality of deposition is often poor. Most titanium implants have microscale surface morphology, and an addition of nanoscale features while preserving the micromorphology may provide further biological benefit. Here, we examined the effect of ultraviolet (UV) light tr...

A large number of unexploited low-grade vanadium-titanium magnetite deposits have been found in the Chao-yang area of China in recent years. The reserves are estimated at more than 20 billion tons. A mineralogical study of raw sample indicated that it was a typical low-grade vanadium-titanium magnetite ore with weathering. Most of vanadium-titanium magnetite was replaced by martite and sphene, ...

Titanium and titanium alloys are currently accepted as the gold standard in dental applications. Their excellent biocompatibility has been attributed to the inert titanium surface through the formation of a thin native oxide which has been correlated to the excellent corrosion resistance of this material in body fluids. Whether this titanium oxide layer is essential to the outstanding biocompat...
