Titanium and its alloys are widely used as implant materials and many studies to accelerate the osseointegration have been performed. This work aims to evaluate the formation of a bioactive surface in commercially pure ...

Sugar cane is a promising raw material for the extraction of hemicelluloses. An alkali treatment of sugar cane bagasse under proper conditions followed by a precipitation using a reasonable quantity of ethanol can be an ...

Alkali silicates, expensive and highly pollutant chemical reagents, are required to produce the alkaline activator for high-performance alkali-activated materials. This study presents a new silica source for producing the ...

The effect of alkali-treatment time and extraction time of native agar and alkali-treated agar obtained from Gracilaria vermiculophylla were studied. The response characteristics were mainly agar yield and gel strength. ...

In this study, in vitro cytocompatibility was investigated in the Ti-30Ta alloy after two kinds of surfaces treatments: alkaline and biomimetic treatment. Each condition was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy/ener ...
