AbstractNatural evolution tackles optimization by producing many genetic variants and exposing these variants to selective pressure, resulting in the survival of the fittest. We use high throughput screening of large libraries of materials with differing surface topographies to probe the interactions of implantable device coatings with cells and tissues. However, the vast size of possible parameter design space precludes a brute force approach to screening all topographical possibilities. Here, we took inspiration from Nature to optimize materials surface topographies using evolutionary algorithms. We show that successive cycles of material design, production, fitness assessment, selection, and mutation results in optimization of biomaterials designs. Starting from a small selection of topographically designed surfaces that upregulate expression of an osteogenic marker, we used genetic crossover and random mutagenesis to generate new generations of topographies.

This study investigated the effect of sandblasting particle size on the surface topography and compressive stresses of conventional zirconia (3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal; 3Y-TZP) and two highly translucent zirconia (4 or 5 mol% partially stabilized zirconia; 4Y-PSZ or 5Y-PSZ). Plate-shaped zirconia specimens (14.0 × 14.0 × 1.0 mm3, n = 60 for each grade) were sandblasted using different Al2O3 sizes (25, 50, 90, 110, and 125 μm) under 0.2 MPa for 10 s/cm2 at a 10 mm distance and a 90° angle. The surface topography was characterized using a 3-D confocal laser microscopy and inspected with a scanning electron microscope. To assess residual stresses, the tetragonal peak shift at 147 cm−1 was traced using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Al2O3 sandblasting altered surface topographies (p < 0.05), although highly translucent zirconia showed more pronounced changes compared to conventional zirconia. 5Y-PSZ abraded with 110 μm sand showed the highest Sa value (0.76 ± 0.12 μm). Larger particle induced more compressive stresses for 3Y-TZP (p < 0.05), while only 25 μm sand induced residual stresses for 5Y-PSZ. Al2O3 sandblasting with 110 μm sand for 3Y-TZP, 90 μm sand for 4Y-PSZ, and 25 μm sand for 5Y-PSZ were considered as the recommended blasting conditions.

The role of suspended particles on Ti-6Al-4V surface in Powder Mixed Electrical Discharge Machining (PMEDM) is studied using SiC powder mixing in water dielectric liquid. Surface modifications due to the additives in dielectric liquid are investigated by means of optical, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The attachment of added powders and surface topographies interrelated with powder suspension concentration, particle size and electrical parameters such as pulse on duration and current. The influence on discharge transitivity with respect to SiC additives is noticed with pock like features on the surface. The geometry and size of these features indicated a robust dependency with respect to operational parameters and indicated the role of secondary discharges during PMEDM. SiC particles severely transferred from di-electric liquid to machined surface at critical operational parameters and implied that the process could be also used as a surface alloying technique.

Die Reibungsbedingungen bei der Zerspanung von verstärkten Faserverbundkunststoffen werden durch die Oberflächengestalt der Werkzeugschneide beeinflusst. In dieser Studie wurde CFK-UD (unidirektional carbonfaserverstärkter Kunststoff) im Streifenziehversuch mit geschliffenen und gestrahlten Testwerkzeugen bei 5 MPa Flächenpressung untersucht. Die Oberflächen der Testwerkzeuge sind durch bestimmte Rauheits- und Funktionsparameter charakterisiert, die sich auf die Gleitreibung der tribologischen Paarung CFK – Werkzeugschneide auswirken. &nbsp; The friction conditions when cutting fiber-reinforced polymers are significantly influenced by the shape of the tool cutting surface. Hence, different strip drawing tests were carried out at a 5 MPa surface pressure to investigate the behavior of unidirectional CFRP with different test tool surface preparations. The tool surfaces were ground and blasted. The created surface topographies are characterized by particular parameters of roughness and function which affect the sliding friction of the CFRP / tool pair.
