The development of artificial organs and implants for replacement of injured and diseased
hard tissues such as bones, teeth and joints is highly desired in orthopedic surgery …

Biomaterials are invariably in contact with living tissues. Thus, interactions between the
surface of a synthetic material and biological environment must be well understood. This …

This paper reports on the corrosion and scratch behavior of TiO2+ 50% HAp nanoceramic
coated Ti–13Nb–13Zr orthopedic implant alloy. An adherent thin coating was obtained using …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a highly robust semiconductor material that has the potential to
revolutionize implantable medical devices for human healthcare, such as biosensors and …

Sol–gel derived hydroxyapatite coatings on metallic implants are important to promote their
osseointegration and biocompatibility. However, such coatings generally suffer from …

To improve the biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of 316L SS (Stainless Steel) metal
implants, HAp (hydroxyapatite)/TiO 2/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite coating was created using dip …

The combination of titania nanofilms and silver nanoparticles (NPs) is a very promising
material, with antibacterial and osseointegration-induced properties for titanium implant …

In order to reinforce the clinical applications of hydroxyapatite (HAP) sol–gel coatings
deposited onto 316 L stainless steel, we suggest the introduction of an intermediate thin …

Calcium phosphate (Ca-P) based composites have attracted great attention in the scientific
community over the last decade for the development of biomedical applications. Among …

Some of the critical properties for a successful orthopedic or dental implant material are its
biocompatibility and bioactivity. Pure titanium (Ti) and zirconium (Zr) are widely accepted as …
