Biomaterial is a nonviable substance used in a medical device intended to interact with biological systems. Their usage within a physiologic medium needs the characteristic features such as efficient and reliable. These characteristic features have provided with a suitable combination of chemical, mechanical, physical and biological properties [2]. Nowadays, biomaterials are commonly used in va...

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) materials have received considerable interest from scientists due to their remarkable performance in electronics, optics and photonics. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Zn(NO3)3 and K2CO3 precursors. The structure of the obtained product was confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) anal...

In this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite (Ba-α-Bi2O3-γ-Fe2O3) was successfully synthesized through a combination of ultrasound and co-precipitation method under mild conditions. The structure of the synthesized nano-composite as a visible light photocatalyst was investigated by the XRD, TEM, HRTEM, UV-vis and FT-IR. The HRTEM confirmed that the nano-magnetic composites are rods with diamet...

The aluminum oxide materials are widely used in ceramics, refractories and abrasives due to their hardness, chemical inertness, high melting point, non-volatility and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The paper describes work done on synthesis of α-alumina by using the simple, non-expensive solution combustion method using glycine as fuel.Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles were synthesiz...

Background: Nowadays, the surface modification of biomaterials to increase biocompatibility and improve other aspects of environmental performance is widely prevalent and is developing. Biological host response depends on the primary interactions of biological and biomaterials systems at the molecular surfaces. Therefore, the surface properties at the atomic scale influence on compatibility and...

BACKGROUND Possibilities for biomaterials to impact the dental caries epidemic are reviewed with emphasis placed on novel delivery biomaterials and new therapeutic targets.
