Influence of Successive Chemical and Thermochemical Treatments on Surface Features of Ti6Al4V Samples Manufactured by SLM
(MDPI, 2021-02)
Ti6Al4V samples, obtained by selective laser melting (SLM), were subjected to successive treatments: acid etching, chemical oxidation in hydrogen peroxide solution and thermochemical processing. The effect of temperature ...

Bacterial behavior on coated porous titanium substrates for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this work, bacterial behavior on dense and porous titanium substrates is discussed. Porous titanium was fabricated by a space holder technique (using 50 vol%, NH4HCO3 with particle sizes between 250 and 355 μm). These ...

Directed Irradiation Synthesis as an Advanced Plasma Technology for Surface Modification to Activate Porous and “as-received” Titanium Surfaces
(MDPI, 2019)
For the design of smart titanium implants, it is essential to balance the surface properties without any detrimental effect on the bulk properties of the material. Therefore, in this study, an irradiation-driven surface ...

Electropolymerized polypyrrole silver nanocomposite coatings on porous Ti substrates with enhanced corrosion and antibacterial behavior for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
This work proposes an innovative strategy that combines two well-known easy and economical preparation techniques: powder metallurgy based space-holder (SH) technique to provide porous biocompatible Ti substrates with ...
Article
Porous Titanium Cylinders Obtained by the Freeze-Casting Technique: Influence of Process Parameters on Porosity and Mechanical Behavior
(MDPI, 2020)
The discrepancy between the stiffness of commercially pure titanium and cortical bone tissue compromises its success as a biomaterial. The use of porous titanium has been widely studied, however, it is still challengi ...
Article
Relation between chemical composition, morphology, and microstructure of poly(ether ether ketone)/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite coatings obtained by electrophoretic deposition
(Springer, 2022-03)
The effect of the chemical composition on the morphology and microstructure of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite coatings is analyzed. RGO induced three main morphological features ...
Article
Limits of powder metallurgy to fabricate porous Ti35Nb7Zr5Ta samples for cortical bone replacements
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
The use of β-Titanium alloys to fabricate metal implants with Young's modulus that resembles bone tissues is presented as an alternative to commercially pure titanium or α-Titanium alloys, although it is still necessary ...
