Self-organized TiO2 nanotubes were generated on the surface of the designed alloy Ti-4.7Mo-4.5Fe (TMF55) by electrochemical anodization process to investigate the effect of nanostructured on the biocompatibility. The biocompatibility of the designed alloys showed very promising results compared to those of Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, especially for the untreated and nanostructured surfaces of the specimens with diameter size less than 35 nm. By increasing the diameter of nanotube, the biocompatibility is decreased. The most convenient compatible alloy was in favor of TMF8 alloy, making this V-free low-cost alloy is a promising candidate for replacing the commercial Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy in biomedical applications.

Fabrication of TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) has extensive application properties due to their high corrosion resistant and compatibility with biomedical applications, the synthesis of TiO2 nanotubes over titanium has drawn interest in various fields. The synthesis of TiO2 NTs using novel in-situ step-up voltage conditions in the electrochemical anodization process is recorded in this work. For manufacturing the NTs at 1 hour of anodization, the input potential of 30, 40 and 50 V was selected. With increasing step-up voltage during the anodization process, an improvement in the NTs was observed, favoring corrosion resistance properties. The surface of NTs enhances the structure of the ribs, raising the potential for feedback over time. XRD was used to analyze phase changes, and HR-SEM analyzed surface topography. Impedance tests found that longer NTs improved the corrosion resistance.

ABSTRACTTo develop alternative and low cost photovoltaic technologies we have synthesized CuInS2 nanocrystals with tunable optical properties and characterization was carried out thoroughly with TEM, SEM, EDAX and XRD. Furthermore large self-organized arrays of TiO2 nanotubes were fabricated on Ti foil followed by simple electrochemical anodization technique and characterized their structure by SEM and then for the first time coupled both the nanocrystals and nanotubes to form a p-n junction type photovoltaic device. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of photovoltaic cells were measured to test the proof of concept. Some preliminary experiments showed that device generates some current upon illumination. However, in our case we fabricated a device without sandwiching any buffer or barrier layers in between nanocrystals and nanotube arrays. We have been optimizing our solar cells efficiency by improving quality of nanotubes and nanocrystals. Some of the interesting finding are presented and discussed.

Tio2 Nts

An electrochemical anodization is a simple and low cost technique, to electrochemically synthesize self-organized titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (NTs) from 1M Na2SO4 electrolyte with anodization of Ti foil. The FESEM results showed that the average diameter size and length of TiO2 NTs was found between 50 to 60 nm and 2.5 μm, respectively. The surface morphology of arrays TiO2 NTs is uniformly deposited on Ti substrate. While, the cross-sectional of TiO2 NTs revealed that, the TiO2 NTs is arrays alignment and close each other deposited. From current-anodisation time analysis (I-t) indicates that TiO2 nanotubes were start formed at anodisation time 429.03 sec with current flows is 51.69 mA in electrochemical system.

Logic Reasoning

The geometry of self-organized TiO2nanotubes, obtained by electrochemical anodization, has been determined by using fuzzy reasoning approach. The efficiency of TiO2nanotubular layer in biomedical applications depends on geometry and available surface area of nanotubes, which can be determined by their diameter and length. The structure of nanotubes depends on processing parameters of electrochemical anodization, like applied potential, anodization time, and pH of electrolyte. A proposed method showed the possibility of estimation and optimization the nanotubular architecture on Ti and Ti alloys by choosing the appropriate processing parameters based on representative experimental data. A fuzzy reasoning approach was utilized by using Matlab Software.

β-type titanium alloys comprising low cost elements such as Fe, Mn, Cr, Sn, Al, O and N and having low Young’s modulus are currently being developed. Examples of such alloys include Ti-10Cr-Al, Ti-Mn, Ti-Mn-Fe, Ti-Mn-Al, Ti-Cr-Al, Ti-Sn-Cr, Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr, Ti-(Cr, Mn)-Sn, and Ti-12Cr. Ti-5Fe-3Nb-3Zr belongs to that class of titanium alloys in which rare metals such as Nb, Ta, and Zr have been reduced using Fe. Ti-5Fe-3Nb-3Zr has a Young’s modulus of around 76 GPa and has greater strength than that of Ti-6Al-4V ELI for biomedical applications. The characteristics of Ti-5Fe-3Nb-3Zr and other low-cost beta-type titanium alloys with low Young’s moduli are discussed from the viewpoint of biomedical applications.

Titanium based modified surfaces with TiO2 self-organized nanotubular layers for biomedical applications were synthesized on cylindrical surfaces by electrochemical anodization in phosphate/fluoride electrolytes. Cylindrical samples of φ 3.8 x 20 mm, made of Ti6Al4V alloy, with different initial surface preparation (machined, grinded, polished) were subjected to anodization and process parameters were optimized to assure the development of uniform titania nanotubular layers with nanotubes’ diameter of 25-100 nm. Optimal process parameters in our custom-built anodization cell are: electrolyte composition 1M H3PO4 + 0.4 wt% HF, anodization potential U = 24 V, potential ramp Ur = 0.08 V/s, distance anode-cathode d = 15 mm, current density in potentiostatic stage J = 35-50 A/m2, and anodization duration t = 30-35 min.

Nanoscale engineering of regular structured materials is immensely demanded in various scientific areas. In this work, vertically oriented TiO2 nanotube arrays were grown by self-organizing electrochemical anodization. The effects of different fluoride ion concentrations (0.2 and 0.5 wt% NH4F) and different anodization times (2, 5, 10 and 20 h) on the morphology of nanotubes were systematically studied in an organic electrolyte (glycol). The growth mechanisms of amorphous and anatase TiO2 nanotubes were also studied. Under optimized conditions, we obtained TiO2 nanotubes with tube diameters of 70–160 nm and tube lengths of 6.5–45 μm. Serving as free-standing and binder-free electrodes, the kinetic, capacity, and stability performances of TiO2 nanotubes were tested as lithium-ion battery anodes. This work provides a facile strategy for constructing self-organized materials with optimized functionalities for applications.

The high cost of development and raw materials have been obstacles to the widespread use of titanium alloys. In the present study, the high-throughput experimental method of diffusion couple combined with CALPHAD calculation was used to design and prepare the low-cost and high-strength Ti-Al-Cr system titanium alloy. The results showed that ultra-fine α phase was obtained in Ti-6Al-10.9Cr alloy designed through the pseudo-spinodal mechanism, and it has a high yield strength of 1437 ± 7 MPa. Furthermore, application of the 3D strength model of Ti-6Al-xCr alloy showed that the strength of the alloy depended on the volume fraction and thickness of the α phase. The large number of α/β interfaces produced by ultra-fine α phase greatly improved the strength of the alloy but limited its ductility. Thus, we have demonstrated that the pseudo-spinodal mechanism combined with high-throughput diffusion couple technology and CALPHAD was an efficient method to design low-cost and high-strength titanium alloys.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer that has fascinating attributes, such as biocompatibility, low cost, and ease of processing, being considered a very interesting biomaterial due to its options for moldability and combination. Thus, BC-based compounds (for example, BC/collagen, BC/gelatin, BC/fibroin, BC/chitosan, etc.) have improved properties and/or functionality, allowing for various biomedical applications, such as artificial blood vessels and microvessels, artificial skin, and wounds dressing among others. Despite the wide applicability in biomedicine and tissue engineering, there is a lack of updated scientific reports on applications related to dentistry, since BC has great potential for this. It has been used mainly in the regeneration of periodontal tissue, surgical dressings, intraoral wounds, and also in the regeneration of pulp tissue. This review describes the properties and advantages of some BC studies focused on dental and oral applications, including the design of implants, scaffolds, and wound-dressing materials, as well as carriers for drug delivery in dentistry. Aligned to the current trends and biotechnology evolutions, BC-based nanocomposites offer a great field to be explored and other novel features can be expected in relation to oral and bone tissue repair in the near future.
