This study examines bacterial adhesion on titanium-substrates used for bone implants. Adhesion is the most critical phase of colonization medical devices. The surface titanium was modified by hydrothermal treatment (HT) to synthesize nanostructured TiO2-anatase coatings, which were previously proven improve corrosion resistance, affect plasma protein adsorption, and enhance osteogenesis. affinity anatase coatings toward attachment studied using a green fluorescent protein-expressing...
In this study we evaluated the tribological performance of polypropylene composites with wood-flour fillers obtained as a by-product from wood-processing industry, which were based on unrecycled and recycled polymer matrices. The mechanical properties polypropylene-wood wood-filler loadings 0–40 wt % determined tensile tests their friction wear behaviours studied dry reciprocating ball-on-disc sliding against 100Cr6 steel balls at room temperature. addition wood resulted in significant...
This study investigates the impact of graphite, hexagonal boron nitride and short carbon fibers, acting as micro- nano-fillers, on tribological performance ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) hybrid composites. The is evaluated under boundary-lubrication conditions with distilled water at contact pressures in range from 5 15 MPa. fillers were found to work synergistically, best recorded when compositions incorporated all scales. most effective composite, consisting micro-scale...
