Abstract This paper presents the results of a multi-scale microstructural characterization of micro-textured Ti-6Al-4V surfaces that are used in biomedical implants. The hierarchies of substructural and microstructural features associated with laser micro-texturing, polishing and surface blasting with alumina pellets are elucidated via atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM). The nano-scale roughness profiles associated with the different surface textures are elucidated via AFM. Sub-micron precipitates and dislocation substructures associated with wrought processing and laser processing are revealed by TEM. Micro- and meso-scale images of the groove structures are then discussed using OM and SEM. The implications of the results are discussed for the optimization of laser processing schemes for the fabrication of micro-textured surfaces that will facilitate the self organization of proteins, and the attachment of mammalian cells to the Ti-6Al-4V surfaces in biomedical implants.

This paper presents the process of preparing spherical silver-coated copper powder with a silver content of 30-50%, using chemical reduction and by adjusting the silver-coating process. By means of SEM, XRD, grain size analyser, digital ohmmeter and differential thermal analyser, the surface topology, structure and conductivity of silver-coated copper powder and raw copper powder are characterised. The results show that the spherical silver-coated copper powder has superior compact surface, complete coverage, a coated layer reaching a thickness of 336nm and excellent conductivity and anti-oxidation property.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.
