One of the most common causes implant failure is peri-implantitis, which caused by bacterial biofilm formation on surfaces dental implants. Modification surface nanotopography has been suggested to affect adherence Silver nanoparticles are also known for their antibacterial properties. In this study, titanium alloy implants were modified following silver plating, anodisation and sintering techniques create a combination silver, dioxide hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocoatings. Their performance was...
Diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films possess a number of unique attractive material properties that are unattainable from Si other materials. These include high values Young's modulus, hardness, tensile strength thermal conductivity, low expansion coefficient combined with coefficients friction good wear resistance. As consequence, they finding increasing applications in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). This paper reviews these distinctive an engineering design point view...
Micro-electro-mechanical system, MEMS, is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary technology dealing with the design and manufacture of miniaturized machines major dimensions at scale tens, to perhaps hundreds, micrometres. Because they depend on cube representative dimension, component masses inertias become small as size decreases whereas surface tribological effects, which often area, increasingly important. Although our explanations macroscopic phenomena involve individual events occurring...
Medical grade titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, with TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2-NTs) grown on the surface and then decorated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is proposed to enhance antimicrobial properties of bone/dental implants. However, decoration Ag NPs not consistent there are concerns about direct contact human tissue. The aim this study was achieve a more even coverage TiO2-NTs determine their biocidal against Staphylococcus aureus, without top coat nano hydroxyapatite (nHA). optimised by adjusting...
