Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials
always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of …

A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium
orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the …

The bioactivity of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings can be modified by the addition of different
ions, such as silicon (Si), lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn) or strontium (Sr) into the HA …

Biomimetic mineralization using simulated body fluid (SBF) can form a bonelike apatite (Ap)
on the natural polymers and enhance osteoconductivity and biocompatibility, and reduce …

Controlling the thermal emission characteristics of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) emitter can
effectively reduce the thermal losses in a photovoltaic cell. Moreover, selective TPV emitters …

The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the effect of hydroxyapatite coatings on the two
types of Mg–Zn–Ag alloys as a possible solution to control magnesium alloy degradation …

Strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHAp) materials are known to actively promote bone
formation. However, the optimum level of Sr inclusion needed to elicit a physiologically …

The in vitro and in vivo performance of hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings can be modified by the
addition of different trace ions, such as silicon (Si), lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn) or …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of smart materials characterized by shape memory
effect and pseudo-elastic behavior. They have the capability to retain their original form …

Strontium (Sr) substituted calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings have stimulated a lot of interest
as Sr is known to provide osteoconductive properties. Most of the work to date with respect …
