Influence of macroporosity on NIH/3T3 adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 over bio-functionalized highly porous titanium implant material
(2018-01-01)
Highly porous Ti implant materials are being used in order to overcome the stress shielding effect on orthopedic implants. However, the lack of bioactivity on Ti surfaces is still a major concern regarding the osseointegration ...
A Review on Bio-functionalization of β-Ti Alloys
(2020-12-01)
β-Ti alloys are known for their very low Young’s modulus, excellent physical properties, and biocompatibility, hence they are considered as attractive metallic materials for long-term bone implant applications. However, ...
Physicochemical, osteogenic and corrosion properties of bio-functionalized ZnO thin films: Potential material for biomedical applications
(2018-01-01)
Nano-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) is well known for its antibacterial activity and biocompatibility, which make this material a promising candidate to tailor titanium (Ti) implant surfaces. In an optimized scenario, the antibacterial ...
Tribo-electrochemical behavior of bio-functionalized TiO2 nanotubes in artificial saliva: Understanding of degradation mechanisms
(2017-01-01)
It has been shown that the synthesis of TiO2 nanotubes by anodization provides outstanding properties to Ti surfaces intended for dental and orthopedic implants applications. Beyond the very well-known potential of these ...
Tribocorrosion behaviour of bio-functionalized porous Ti surfaces obtained by two-step anodic treatment
(2020-04-15)
A bio-functionalized porous surface was obtained on Ti by a two-step anodic treatment and its corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviour were evaluated. The first-step provided macro-porosity while the second-step, a ...
Improved tribocorrosion performance of bio-functionalized TiO2 nanotubes under two-cycle sliding actions in artificial saliva
(2018-04-01)
After insertion into bone, dental implants may be subjected to tribocorrosive conditions resulting in the release of metallic ions and solid wear debris, which can induce to peri-implant inflammatory reactions accompanied ...
Albumin biofunctionalization to minimize the Staphylococcus aureus adhesion on solid substrates
(Elsevier Science, 2018-07)
Staphylococcus aureus has become the most common opportunistic microorganism related to nosocomial infections due to the bacteria capacity to form biofilms on biomedical devices and implants. Since bacterial adhesion is ...
