A study was carried out on the consequences of -OH(surf)/F(-) exchange occurring at surface TiO(2) P25 when suspended in HF/F(-) solutions. The maximum extent fluorination reached pH 3.0, resulting fixation ca. 2.5 F(-)/nm(2). features fluorinated samples under two selected conditions were investigated by IR spectroscopy, comparison with pristine TiO(2). collected data suggested that bridged -OH(surf), likely located regular facets, more resistant to F(-). Combined high resolution...
Ceramic materials are widely used for biomedical applications because of their remarkable biological and mechanical properties. Composites made alumina zirconia particularly interesting owing to higher toughness with respect the monolithic materials. On this basis, present study is focused on in vivo behavior toughened (ATZ) dental implants treated a hydrothermal process. A minipig model was implemented assess bone healing through histology mRNA expression at different time points (8, 14,...
Polypropylene nets are widely used as hernioplasty prostheses. The reproduction of bacteria within the net fibers intersections can occur after application prosthesis causing infections. For this reason, have to be removed in very early stage surgical implantation. Activation surface was done by an innovative oxidizing plasma treatment (APP-DBD) working under atmospheric conditions order favor deposition antibacterial coating chitosan (biocompatible carbohydrate) and ciprofloxacin (broad...
The purpose of this work was to optimise printable polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) biomaterials with high percentages β-TCP endowed balanced mechanical characteristics resemble human cancellous bone, presumably improving osteogenesis.
Two different synthetic approaches such as thermal decomposition method and microwave-assisted procedure were compared for the synthesis of nanosized ZnO. The two procedures tested using zinc acetate precursor is, or in presence coadjutants, one anthropic origin (melamine) derived from reuse agricultural waste (wine extracts). All samples physico-chemically characterized order to evaluate influence conditions on properties materials that by N2 adsorption/desorption at 77 K Field...
