Aims: This scoping review evaluates published research dedicated to investigating potential
new methods of pin-site infection prevention. Settings and Design: A scoping review was …

This study substantiates the chemical origin of a free-radical-driven antibacterial effect at the
surface of biomedical silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) in comparison with the long-known effect of …

Gram-negative bacteria represent a substantial fraction of pathogens responsible for
periprosthetic infections. Given the increasing resistance of such bacteria to antibiotics …

Abstract Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V possesses a range of highly interesting properties such as
excellent corrosion resistance, bio-compatibility and high specific stress but suffers from …

Although titanium alloys can be operative at high temperatures up to 700∘ C, their
mechanical properties at ultrahigh temperatures are not well studied. In this work, an …

The availability of osteoinductive biomaterials has encouraged new therapies in bone
regeneration and has potentially triggered paradigmatic shifts in the development of new …

Titanium oxide layers were produced via a novel catalytic ceramic conversion treatment
(CCCT, C3T) on Ti-6Al-4V. This CCCT process is carried out by applying thin catalytic films …

The materials used to manufacture prosthetic components must meet the conditions of
biocompatibility imposed by the human body, to be mechanically resistant, to present a good …

Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) is a popular material choice for biomedical implants due
to its good cytocompatibility, high corrosion resistance and mechanical properties …

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are attractive metals for biomedical use, where predominantly Ti-
6Al-4V (Ti64) is used. This is largely due to their desirable mechanical and chemical …
