Book Processing  Microstructure Characterization and Biological Performance of Hierarchical Surface Coatings for Titanium Implants

Download or read book Processing Microstructure Characterization and Biological Performance of Hierarchical Surface Coatings for Titanium Implants written by Ellen Elizabeth Sauter and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the lifetime of a typical orthopaedic implant is only 15-20 years, a lifetime that many patients are outliving. Therefore, implants with superior longevity need to be engineered. To improve implant longevity, much research has been focused on creating micro-scale porosity/roughness to enhance osseointegration by mechanical interlocking of bone and implant. These structures have improved osseointegration to the current 15-20 year lifespan. It has also been shown that nano-scale structures enhance osteoblast (bone cell) function. The combination of micro-scale and nano-scale structures into one hierarchical structure may further improve the osseointegrative properties of implants. A hierarchical surface modification consisting of titanium dioxide [(TiO2)] nanotubes produced by anodic oxidation of titanium in an electrolyte containing fluoride ions, [F], on a commercially pure (cp) titanium, micro-scale grid structure produced by laser powder deposition was successfully developed. [TiO2] nanotubes were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), while laser deposited grid structures were characterized with both FE-SEM and optical microscopy. Mouse preosteoblasts were used to evaluate the in vitro biological effects, including cell morphology and cell viability, on the four experimental groups: unanodized flat, anodized flat, unanodized laser deposition, and anodized laser deposition. All treatment groups showed good cell attachment and spreading; however, it was observed that on the samples with [TiO2] nanotubes there was a much greater density of adhesion proteins. The presence of these proteins provides a surface that cells can more readily attach to which can lead to greater cell proliferation and differentiation. Also, viability of cells on samples with nanotubes was higher than samples without nanotubes. However, viability was highest on the anodized flat surface, suggesting that the micro-scale grid on the surface of laser deposition samples did not positively affect the osteoblasts. Optimization of the micro-scale surface features, along with anodization of the micro-scale structures, could possibly further improve the bone/implant interaction and further study is needed on this topic.

Book Processing Microstructure Characterization and Biological Response of Cold Sprayed Biocomposite Coatings

Download or read book Processing Microstructure Characterization and Biological Response of Cold Sprayed Biocomposite Coatings written by Eden Bhatta and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titanium and titanium alloys are increasingly used in load bearing implant applications due to their high biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. The adhesion of bone tissues with the surface of titanium implants is poor, however, and results in weak tissue-to-implant bonding and reduced implant longevity. Current orthopedic hip implants are reported to experience various forms of failure with an average lifespan of 10-20 years in 90% of the patients, a timespan that many patients outlive. Implants often require revision surgery that is usually more challenging and painful than the primary operation. A popular approach to encourage early osseointegration is through modification of the implant surface by application of a hydroxyapatite coating, a method which is traditionally carried out via a plasma spray deposition process. However, the high processing temperatures used in plasma spray can result in unwanted phase transformations of hydroxyapatite as well as poor adhesion and fatigue strength. Thus, there is a need to engineer a hydroxyapatite coating method that facilitates good mechanical stability while maintaining the excellent bioactivity and osteoconductive properties of hydroxyapatite to ultimately increase implant lifespan. In this research, it was hypothesized that cold spray technology can be used to fabricate functionally graded hydroxyapatite-titanium composite coatings with a high hydroxyapatite composition on the outer surface to provide better biological response and high titanium composition in the inner coating layer to ensure adequate adhesion strength. Further, it was also hypothesized that by preprocessing the hydroxyapatite-titanium powder mixture with high energy ball milling, the deposition behavior of hydroxyapatite can be improved.

Book Processing  Microstructure Characterization  and Adhesion Performance of  TiO2  Nanotubes Coating for Ti Bone Implants

Download or read book Processing Microstructure Characterization and Adhesion Performance of TiO2 Nanotubes Coating for Ti Bone Implants written by Anim Shrestha and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All treatments showed the presence of [TiO2] nanotubes. Furthermore, the [TiO2] nanotube diameter and coating thickness (or tube length) are relatively homogeneous across each sample surface. Finally, nanotube length increased with increasing anodization time for all electrolyte compositions. Results showed that processing conditions during anodization play an important role in the adhesion strength at the [TiO2] nanotube to Ti interface. The anodization time was found to directly correlate with the coating thickness. In general, nanotube coating adhesion strength increased with increasing anodization time. Also, for the same electrolyte composition, adhesion strength increased with increasing coating thickness. However, adhesion strength was not controlled solely by coating thickness, as it was observed that the adhesion strength varied between samples processed with different electrolyte composition but with similar thickness. The mechanism for dependence of adhesion strength on coating thickness and anodization time is likely related to stress development within the nanotube coating as well as oxide stoichiometry at the [TiO2/Ti] interface.

Book Functional Biomaterials Design  Synthesis and Applications

Download or read book Functional Biomaterials Design Synthesis and Applications written by Manjie Zhang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early diagnosis of cancer is still a major challenge in cancer therapy. In recent years, the development of multifunctional nanomaterials has provided a new diagnosis and treatment platform to combat cancer. Polymer-inorganic nanomaterials with novel structures such as bowl-shaped/Janus/core-shell have drawn much attention owing to their diversity in composition or asymmetry in structure. More importantly, imparting unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties to these nanocomposites can further extend their function repertoire. However, to fulfill this vision, fundamental understandings regarding strategies of precise synthesis, mechanisms of structure formation, in vivo synergistic effects in bioapplications, and biosafety of these materials are needed. Besides, nanomaterials with novel structures are well positioned for imaging-guided cancer theranostic. On one hand, nanomaterials themselves are suitable for imaging because of their intrinsic properties such as fluorescent or magnetic properties. On the other hand, nanomaterials can serve as functional platforms that integrate various therapeutic modalities including photothermal therapy, chemodynamic/ion-interference therapy, photodynamic therapy, and cuproptosis to efficiently kill cancer cells. This Research Topic aims at collecting works about synthesis, and biomedical applications of polymer/mesoporous inorganic nanomaterials, especially in the aspect of novel synthetic approaches for fabricating nanomaterials with unique structures. Additionally, we hope that in-depth research articles on this topic can provide insights into the mechanism of nanomaterials acting in cancer diagnosis and therapy. These include the mechanisms of customized drug load/release and synergistic effects in theranostics of these materials. Meanwhile, elucidations of key proteins’ roles in cancer development are also anticipated. Lastly, we hope that this topic can brew new ideas for the adaption of nanomaterials as platforms that allow for multimodal therapeutic modalities. The current Research Topic centers on the design, precise synthesis, and biomedical applications of nanomaterials. It aims to cover novel and promising research trends in nanomaterials with different morphology for cancer theranostics. Manuscripts from the following aspects, but not limited to, are welcomed: • Tailoring of asymmetrically structured (bowl-shaped, Janus, Yin Yang-like) polymer-inorganic nanomaterials; • Inorganic functional nanocrystals and functionalized mesoporous nanomaterials; • Design and synthesis of functional biomaterials, including lipids, polymers, and 2D materials • Non-viral DNA/mRNA delivery or drug/molecular inhibitor delivery; • Synthesizing biomaterials with novel nanostructures such as bowl-shaped, core-shell, spherical, Janus, and quantum dots; • Conquering drug resistance issues, tumor metastasis, and recurrence, as well as designing combination nanomedicines; • Dissecting the role of menin in prostate cancer and breast cancer: crosstalk between menin and AR signaling; • Multi-stimulus-responsive drug release and biological molecules.

Book The Role of Nanostructural and Electrical Surface Properties on the Osteogenic Potential of Titanium Implants

Download or read book The Role of Nanostructural and Electrical Surface Properties on the Osteogenic Potential of Titanium Implants written by Rolando Arturo Gittens Ibacache and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental and orthopaedic implants are currently the solutions of choice for teeth and joint replacements with success rates continually improving, but they still have undesirable failure rates in patients who are compromised by disease or age, and who in many cases are the ones most in need. The success of titanium (Ti) implants depends on their ability to osseointegrate with the surrounding bone and this, in turn, is greatly dependent on the surface characteristics of the device. Advancements in surface analysis and surface modification techniques have improved the biological performance of metallic implants by mimicking the hierarchical structure of bone associated with regular bone remodeling. In this process, damaged bone is resorbed by osteoclasts, which produce resorption lacunae containing high microroughness generated after mineral dissolution under the ruffled border, as well as superimposed nanoscale features created by the collagen fibers left at the surface. Indeed, increasing Ti surface roughness at the micro and sub-microscale level has been shown to increase osteoblast differentiation in vitro, increase bone-to-implant contact in vivo, and accelerate healing times clinically. Recently, the clinical application of surface nanomodification of implants has been evaluated. Still, most clinically-available devices remain smooth at the nanoscale and fundamental questions remain to be elucidated about the effect of nanoroughness on the initial response of osteoblast lineage cells. \r : Another property that could be used to control osteoblast development and the process of osseointegration is the electrical surface charge of implants. The presence of endogenous electrical signals in bone has been implicated in the processes of bone remodeling and repair. The existence of these native signals has prompted the use of external electrical stimulation to enhance bone growth in cases of fractures with delayed union or nonunion, with several in vitro and in vivo reports confirming its beneficial effects on bone formation. However, the use of electrical stimulation on Ti implants to enhance osseointegration is less understood, in part because of the lack of in vitro models that truly represent the in vivo environment. In addition, an aspect that has not been thoroughly examined is the electrical implication of implant corrosion and its effect on the surrounding tissue. Implants are exposed to extreme conditions in the body such as high pH during inflammation, and cyclic loads. These circumstances may lead to corrosion events that generate large electrochemical currents and potentials, and may cause abnormal cell and tissue responses that could be partly responsible for complications such as aseptic loosening of implants. \r : Consequently, Ti implants with tailored surface characteristics such as nanotopography and electrical polarization, could promote bone healing and osseointegration to ensure successful outcomes for patients by mimicking the biological environment of bone without the use of systemic drugs. The objective of this thesis is to understand how surface nanostructural and electrical characteristics of Ti and Ti alloy surfaces may affect osteoblast lineage cell response in vitro for normal tissue regeneration and repair. Our central hypothesis is that combined micro/nanostructured surfaces, as well as direct stimulation of Ti surfaces with fixed direct current (DC) potentials, can enhance osteoblast differentiation.

Book The Effect of Grain Refinement of Titanium on Its Mechanical Performance and Cell Response

Download or read book The Effect of Grain Refinement of Titanium on Its Mechanical Performance and Cell Response written by Alexander Medvedev and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titanium and its alloys have long been in the focus of biomedical research as some of the most suitable materials for implant production. This fact is attributed to an excellent combination of mechanical, biological and physico-chemical properties, such as low density and high mechanical strength, resulting in the highest specific strength among most common implant materials, reduced elastic modulus (compared to stainless steel or CoCrMo alloys), excellent corrosion resistance, and enhanced biocompatibility.Recently, titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, the most common titanium implant material so far, was in the focus of several studies that claimed it has a potential to be toxic to humans due to the release of aluminium and vanadium ions in the surrounding tissues when placed within the host. This problem can be overcome by using titanium with lower alloying content, for example, commercially pure (CP) titanium, such as Grade 2 or Grade 4. Unfortunately, CP titanium shows significant decrease in mechanical properties compared to Ti6Al4V. There are ways, however, to enhance the strength of materials without altering their chemical composition. Particularly, severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been shown to dramatically enhance the strength of various materials while retaining good ductility.It is well known that the surface of medical implants plays a crucial role in the success and outcome of the surgery and determines the longevity of implants. Therefore, it is common to modify the surface of these devices in order to increase the surface area, alter its chemistry or wettability. There are numerous techniques available nowadays that allow modification of implant surface, however, only a handful of them were implemented in industry. One of such processes - SLA (Shot-blasted with Large grit and Acid etching) - is considered one of the most promising since it has been adopted by several different companies around the world. The main aim of the present work was to use SPD to increase the strength of CP titanium of two purity grades - Grade 2 and Grade 4 - in order to develop a material that, as a result of a combination of high strength and good biocompatibility, could be used to replace Ti6Al4V as a major titanium-based material on the market. Moreover, we performed all experiments on samples with two distinctly different types of surfaces - polished and SLA-treated - to highlight the effect of grain refinement on the outcome of subsequent surface modification. To the best of our knowledge, no work examining a combined effect of grain refinement and surface modification on mechanical and biological properties has been previously described in the literature. The results discussed in this thesis suggest that, as a result of a significant refinement of microstructure by SPD processing, mechanical properties of CP titanium can match (fatigue) or even exceed (tensile) those of Ti6Al4V. It was observed that SLA treatment results in the formation of a surface layer with refined structure which aided in enhancing fatigue properties of as-received titanium after surface modification. Although such layer was not found in case of SPD-processed samples, which led to a slight decrease of fatigue life compared to samples with polished surface, fatigue properties of SPD-processed titanium were still superior to those of Ti6Al4V. Fatigue testing in simulated body fluid, designed to test how titanium with refined structure reacts to aggressive environment, indicated no deterioration of fatigue life of titanium, regardless of microstructure.It has been demonstrated that surface properties of titanium were notably influenced by the grain size and the subsequent SLA treatment. Roughness of polished samples was shown to be a function of the grain size of material. At the same time, mechanical properties are believed to be responsible for differences in roughness of SLA-modified surface, as surface roughening primarily occurs by means of grit-blasting with its effect highly dependent on the strength/ductility of the surface. Wettability of titanium has been observed to be determined by the surface texture, being a product of variations in the processing route. This effect retained after severe surface roughening as well, although, overall, surface of SLA-treated titanium samples were found to be much more hydrophobic. Simultaneously, variations in wettability between samples of different conditions became less pronounced. Chemical analysis of CP Ti with varying microstructure and surface quality revealed no effect of microstructure on the chemical state of the polished surface. At the same time, it was noted that SLA treatment of ultrafine-grained titanium may favour the formation of a thicker, more chemically uniform oxide layer. Finally, an assessment of biological properties of CP Ti has been made. The results indicate a positive effect of ultrafine-grained structure and associated surface properties on the attachment, proliferation and differentiation of two types of tissue cells - human osteosarcoma SaOS-2 cells and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (adMSC) on both types of surfaces. At the same time, bacterial adhesion was also significantly enhanced on the surface of SLA-treated titanium. This fact suggests that an utilisation of surface modification techniques in industrial processes of implant production should be most carefully controlled in order to reduce possibility of serious complication that may be caused by bacterial colonisation.Overall, experimental results presented in this thesis indicate that SPD, especially in combination with surface modification techniques, such as SLA treatment, has a great potential to improve both mechanical and biological properties of commercially pure titanium to make it a highly favourable and competitive candidate for the replacement of Ti6Al4V alloy. Our research suggests that there may be only one potential drawback of a combination of SPD and SLA, namely, enhanced adhesion of bacterial cells on the surface of such materials. However, this negative effect is not attributed to SPD processing, but rather to the increased surface roughness inherent to the SLA treatment. We suggest that this issue can be addressed by developing proper handling, storage and pre-implantation preparation protocols, a process that was not covered in current work but could be included as a part of the basis for the future work.

Download or read book Titanium written by Gerd Lütjering and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors were motivated to prepare this book by the absence of any recent comprehensive book on titanium. The intent of this book is to provide a modern compendium that addresses both the phyical metallurgy as well as the applications of titanium. Until now the only book on this subject is that by Zwicker which was written in German and published almost 30 years ago. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the subject including some historical aspects of titanium. Chapter 2 is a s- mary of the Fundamental Aspects of Titanium, Chapter 3 is a summary of the Technological Aspects of Titanium and Chapters 4 through 9 address the specifics of the various classes of titanium ranging from CP Titanium to Titanium Matrix Composites. Finally, Chapter 10 covers “special” properties and applications of titanium. Our intent has been to address the subject conceptually rather than provide quantities of data of the sort that would be found in a Handbook. It is our intent that this book is useful for materials scientists and engineers interested in using titanium and for students either as a sourcebook or as a textbook. We have - tempted to include a representative set of references which provide additional detail for readers interested in specific aspects of titanium. Because of the re- tively recent growth of the technological importance of titanium, there is a vo- minous literature on titanium. While our references span this literature it has proven impossible to mention every contribution.

Book Thin Film Analysis by X Ray Scattering

Download or read book Thin Film Analysis by X Ray Scattering written by Mario Birkholz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-05-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions by Paul F. Fewster and Christoph Genzel While X-ray diffraction investigation of powders and polycrystalline matter was at the forefront of materials science in the 1960s and 70s, high-tech applications at the beginning of the 21st century are driven by the materials science of thin films. Very much an interdisciplinary field, chemists, biochemists, materials scientists, physicists and engineers all have a common interest in thin films and their manifold uses and applications. Grain size, porosity, density, preferred orientation and other properties are important to know: whether thin films fulfill their intended function depends crucially on their structure and morphology once a chemical composition has been chosen. Although their backgrounds differ greatly, all the involved specialists a profound understanding of how structural properties may be determined in order to perform their respective tasks in search of new and modern materials, coatings and functions. The author undertakes this in-depth introduction to the field of thin film X-ray characterization in a clear and precise manner.
