Toughening of complete solid solution cermets by graphite addition
(Elsevier, 2015)
(Ti0.95Ta0.05)(C0.5N0.5)-Co complete solid solution cermets (CSCs) were developed by a mechanochemical synthesis process and a pressureless sintering method. The effect of different percentages of graphite used as a sintering ...
Article
Balancing porosity and mechanical properties of titanium samples to favor cellular growth against bacteria
(MDPI, 2019)
Two main problems limit the success of titanium implants: bacterial infection, which restricts their osseointegration capacity; and the stiffness mismatch between the implant and the host cortical bone, which promotes bone ...

Porous titanium substrates coated with a bilayer of bioactive glasses
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
Porous titanium substrates coated by dripping-sedimentation technique with a novel bilayer of (45S5 / 1393) bioactive glasses are proposed to overcome some limitations of the use of titanium for implants, such as the stress ...
Article
Synthesis and deposition of silver nanoparticles on porous titanium substrates for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Ti implants are highly biocompatible and allow orderly bone growth but, unfortunately, in the first five years after implantation, 5–10% of them fail due to poor osseointegration and to the presence of bacterial infections ...
Article
Porous beta titanium alloy coated with a therapeutic biopolymeric composite to improve tribomechanical and biofunctional balance
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Tooth loss is common in patients struggling with dental cavities, periodontal diseases, and tumors, as well as those who abuse tobacco or drugs. In this scenario, dental implants have become the primary treatment option ...

Synergistic Effect of rhBMP‐2 Protein and Nanotextured Titanium Alloy Surface to Improve Osteogenic Implant Properties
(MDPI, 2021-03)
One of the major limitations during titanium (Ti) implant osseointegration is the poor cellular interactions at the biointerface. In the present study, the combined effect of recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 ...

Versatile Biodegradable Poly(acrylic acid)-Based Hydrogels Infiltrated in Porous Titanium Implants to Improve the Biofunctional Performance
(American Chemical Society, 2023-09)
This research work proposes a synergistic approach to improve implants’ performance through the use of porous Ti substrates to reduce the mismatch between Young’s modulus of Ti (around 110 GPa) and the cortical bone ...
Article
Improved Corrosion Behavior and Biocompatibility of Porous Titanium Samples Coated with Bioactive Chitosan-Based Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2021-10)
Porous titanium implants can be a good solution to solve the stress shielding phenomenon. However, the presence of pores compromises mechanical and corrosion resistance. In this work, porous titanium samples obtained ...
Article
Bioactive Bilayer Glass Coating on Porous Titanium Substrates with Enhanced Biofunctional and Tribomechanical Behavior
(MDPI, 2022-02)
The use of porous titanium samples fabricated by space-holder powder metallurgy with bioactive coatings has already been reported to prevent resorption of the bone surrounding the implant and improve osseointegration, ...
Article
Design, processing and characterization of titanium with radial graded porosity for bone implants porosity for bone implants
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
Titanium cylinders with radial graded porosity, which are potentially suitable for biomedical applications (replacement of cortical and trabecular bones involved in different joint and dental restorations), have been ...
