Biomaterials used for bone implants should be characterized by good corrosion resistance, appropriate mechanical and electrical properties, high metallurgical quality, biocompatibility, abrasion relatively low production costs. Currently titanium alloys are being replaced materials with better so-called new-generation containing elements such as vanadium or niobium. These alloys, the addition of Zr, Fe, Ta, give Young's modulus values approximating that bone, thus further improving...
Additive technologies allowed for the development of medicine and implantology, enabling production personalized highly porous implants. Although implants this type are used clinically, they usually only heat treated. Surface modification using electrochemical methods can significantly improve biocompatibility biomaterials implants, including printed ones. The study examined effect anodizing oxidation on a implant made Ti6Al4V by SLM method. proprietary spinal intended treatment discopathy...
Titanium alloys are currently widely used in implantation, especially orthopaedics. However, undesirablereactions caused by aluminium and vanadium ions released from the surface of most commonly alloys,Ti6Al4V Ti6Al7Nb, result need to modify material improve biocompatibility.Among available modification methods, one can mention application biodegradable polymercoatings, which, apart improving biocompatibility limiting penetration alloying element ionsinto tissue environment, also be a matrix...
: Titanium alloys are among the most widely used materials in medicine, especially orthopedics. However, their use requires application of an appropriate surface modification method to improve properties. Such methods include anodic oxidation and polymer coatings, which limit release alloying element ions. In addition, biodegradable coatings can serve as a carrier for drugs other substances. The paper presents results research on physical properties containing nanoparticle hydroxyapatite...
The constantly growing need for the use of implants in osteotomy is mainly due to aging population and long-term this type biomaterials. Improving implant materials requires selection appropriate functional properties. Currently used titanium (Ti) alloys, such as Ti6Al4V Ti6Al7Nb, are being replaced by with better biocompatibility, vanadium (V) or niobium (Nb), allowing creation so-called new generation alloys. These incorporation zirconium (Zr), iron, tantalum, possess Young's modulus close...
