Thin films have emerged as an ideal surface treatment to the permanent implant materials to
enhance properties such as biodegradation resistance, better mechanical strengths and …

Titanium (Ti) suffers from lack of ability to establish strong bonding with the local tissue when
used as implant material. Higher level of bone-implant interactions promotes …

The formation mechanism of twin boundaries in transition metal nitrides has remained
largely unexplored owing to their high stacking fault energy that hinders twin boundary …

Organic phase change materials (PCMs) promise remarkable latent heat storage capacity
but suffer from weak visible-light absorption capability and ultralow thermal conductivity for …

Low-cost and non-cytotoxic ternary Zr-Ti-Ag thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) were
synthesized by DC magnetron sputtering. Results revealed that Ag addition enhanced the …

In the present study, the sputtering process deposited tantalum oxide thin film onto AZ31B
alloy, and the biocompatibility and degradation resistance were evaluated. The phase …

Hafnium nitride (HfN), as one of the most stable of transition metal nitrides, has shown great
application potential in many fields. In this paper, a series of Hf-BN films doped with different …

The present study is an attempt to develop a zinc oxide (ZnO) decorated titania (TiO 2)
nanostructured layer over Ti metal by a simple chemical and thermal treatment method. Ti …

With the continuous development of the economy and society, exacerbated by the growing
challenges of an aging population, the demand for orthopedic implants has witnessed a …

Due to the resistance of some bacteria to antibiotics, research in the field of dealing with
bacterial infections is necessary. A practical approach utilized in this study involves the …
