In this study, hybrid composites based on beta-alloy Ti-xNb and oxide nanotubes (NTs) have been successfully prepared. NTs of different sizes were grown on Ti-Nb substrates with different Nb contents (5, 25, and 50 wt %) ...

Beta titanium alloys with a low elastic modulus, such as Ti10Mo8Nb alloy, are suitable to relieve the stress shielding effect that occurs in the interface implant/bone. However, these materials are considered bioinert and ...

Polymeric precursor solution (Pechini method) was used to deposit LiNbO 3 thin films by spin-coating on (100) silicon substrates. X-ray diffraction data of thin films showed that the increase of oxygen flow promotes a ...

DFT calculations were used to study hydrogen desorption energy in a set of pure, Nb- or Zr-doped systems, containing vacancy-like defects and a MgH2 (110) defect-free surface. The preferential location site for dopants was ...

The potential energy surfaces at the singlet (s) and the triplet (t) electronic states associated with the gas-phase ion/molecule reactions of NbO3-, NbO5-, and NbO2(OH)(2)(-) with H2O and O-2 have been investigated by ...

A number of researches have been concerned about the development of beta-type titanium alloys because they can present good biocompatibility, non-cytotoxicity, suitable mechanical and corrosion resistance behavior. However, ...
