titanium salts are widely used in pharmacy and industry as intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints , paper , toothpaste , plastics and food dye s. this ion is a redox-active transition metal and may cause oxidative damages to lipids, proteins and dna molecules. in spite of abundant literature, questions about the side effects of titanium ions still remain to be answ...

Ti82 coatings were deposited by hydrogen reduction of Tic14 and BCl3. The objective was to correlate process variables with thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, deposition kinetics, coating stucture and properties. Particular emphasis was given to obtaining deposits having appropriate oxidation resistance to protect CISiC composites. Fi lms, obtained at moderate temperature (800°C), acted as...

Although fluoride induces corrosion in titanium in an oral environment, the influence of protein on this corrosion remains to be clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate suppression of fluoride-induced corrosion of titanium where albumin was either present in a solution or where albumin was preadsorbed on titanium. Titanium dissolution in titanium specimens and surface characte...
