There is a growing need for new biomaterials that can gain predictable and controlled tissue response, this is, that as bone graft substitutes should initiate new bone formation, after which they should get reabsorbed and replaced by bone tissue. This combination aims to improve the mechanical properties, degradation rates and absorption rates of biocompatibility and biodegradability. The aim of this study was to propose a synthetic route in which the HA was obtained by reaction of precipitation directly on evaluating the influence of chitosan biopolymer in the middle of precipitation in the characteristics of hydroxyapatite obtained. XRD analysis revealed the presence of HA phase with low crystallinity. In the FTIR analysis identified the characteristic bands of hydroxyapatite, as well as bands that characterize an interaction between chitosan and hydroxyapatite, as the band around 1050cm-1. SEM analysis of the biocomposites chitosan/HA, showed a dispersion of HA particles in chitosan, revealing a homogenous material and microporous.

Nanocomposite Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) doped Copper (Cu), Cu-TiO2 is synthesized by the impregnation method. This study aims to determine the effect of adding Cu to the TiO2 structure. 1, 3, and 5 Cu with% TiO2 dissolved in 50 ml of deionized water, and 3 grams of TiO2 added. The compound is then stirred for 2 hours at 900C and dried in an oven at 1100C for 30 minutes. Drying samples were calcined at 5000C for 3 hours. Cu-TiO2 nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX Mapping, and FTIR. The XRD analysis results show that Cu-TiO2 nanocomposite has a high level of crystallinity and has an anatase phase structure. The size of TiO2 crystals decreased with Cu doping and increased from 49.66 nm to 49.68 nm, with an increase in the composition of the doping mass of Cu. The SEM-EDX Mapping results show that all samples tend to clot, and Cu dopants evenly distributed on the surface of TiO2. FTIR analysis explained the presence of hydroxyl ions in the sample marked with the appearance of the absorption peak at 1658.78 cm-1 associated with -OH bending of Ti-OH.

PVP/[Y(NO3)3+Al (NO3)3] composite nanobelts were fabricated via electrospinning combined with sol-gel process and novel structure of Y3Al5O12(denoted as YAG for short) nanobelts have been obtained after calcination of the relevant composite nanobelts. The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis indicated that the composite nanobelts were amorphous, and YAG nanobelts were cubic in structure with space group Ia3d. FTIR analysis manifested that pure YAG nanobelts were formed at 900oC. SEM analysis and histograms revealed that the width of the composite nanobelts and YAG nanobelts were 3.5 μm and 2.4 μm, and the thickness were 240 nm and 112 nm, respectively, under the 95% confidence level. The formation mechanism of YAG nanobelts was discussed in detail.

Characterization of microstructure of silicide coatings obtained during diffusion process of pack cementation type was showed in this article. The basic materials were pure Mo sheet and TZM molybdenum alloys as well. The coatings were deposited in out of pack process with three different times of exposure. The temperature of deposition process was constant. In first step the phases compositions of coatings was described by XRD analysis. In each cases the MoSi2 phase was obtained on top surface of the coatings. The morphology of the coatings was very similar as well. All types of coatings were characterized by network of cracks on top surface of the coatings. There was no influence of depositions time on phases constituent and coatings topography. LM and SEM analysis revealed that internal coatings morphology was very similar in all cases. Basic differences was related to the thickness of coatings. All coatings were good quality without deep cracks. Microstructure was a columnar-like type without pores and voids.

In the present work Collagen/Hydroxyapatite microsphere (Col/mHA) scaffold with a multiscale porosity was prepared. Col/mHA composite scaffold was prepared by freeze-drying/dehydrothermal crosslinking method. The HA microspheres (mHA) were obtained by spray drying of nanohydroxyapatite slurry prepared by precipitation technique. XRD analysis revealed that the microspheres were composed only of pure HA phase and EDS analysis revealed that Ca/P ratio was 1.69. The obtained microspheres had an average diameter 6 microns, specific surface area of 40 m2/g by BET analysis and BJH analysis shows meso porous structure having an average pore diameter 16nm. SEM analysis shows that the obtained Col/mHA scaffold had a macro porosity ranging from micron to 200 microns with meso porous mHA embedded in the collagen matrix.

We report the synthesis and characterization of two different types of Ni-based laminated composites (Types I and II). In Type-I composites, layers of Ni and Ti3SiC2 (Ni–Ti3SiC2) were interleaved with Ni, whereas in Type-II composites, Ni–Ti3SiC2 layers were interleaved with Al and Ni. The laminate thickness and Ti3SiC2 content in the individual Ni–Ti3SiC2 layers were systematically varied in both the composites. Detailed SEM studies showed that Ti3SiC2 particulates are well distributed in the Ni-matrix with little or no interfacial reactions with interparticle porosity. However, there were interfacial reactions between Ni and Al in Type II composites. In general, Type I multilayered composites had higher ultimate compressive strength (UCS) in parallel orientation as compared to perpendicular orientation (layers are aligned parallel or perpendicular to the wear surface then it will be referred to as parallel or perpendicular orientation). Comparatively, in Type II composites, the UCS was greater in perpendicular orientation as compared to parallel due to the presence of Al layers as bonding layers. Both the composite designs showed triboactive behavior against alumina disks and sensitivity to laminate thickness and orientation. In Type-I composites, the decrease in µ and wear rate (WR) with laminate thickness was more pronounced in the perpendicular orientation as compared to the parallel orientation. Comparatively, Ni–Ti3SiC2/Al/Ni composites showed that the parallel orientation was more effective in enhancing the triboactive performance. SEM analysis of tribosurfaces showed signs of triboxidation and abrasion, which led to the formation of O-rich tribofilms.

Hydroxylapatite(HAP) nano-whiskers are prepared by reaction-precipitation in the submerged circulative impinging stream reactor(SCISR), with (NH4)2HPO4 and Ca(NO3)2 as the reagents; and the products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results TEM measured indicate that the product prepared under typical operation conditions is average-sized 15nm and 50-70nm long. Multiply repeated experiments illustrates that, because of the excellent performance of the reactor, the preparation process can be easily controlled to yield nano rod/whisker hydroxylapatite with very narrow size distribution.
