Surface modification of orthopedic and dental implants has been demonstrated to be an
effective strategy to accelerate bone healing at early implantation times. Among the different …

Small biomolecules at the subcellular level are building blocks for the manifestation of
complex biological activities. However, non-intrusive in situ investigation of biological …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite,(Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2), is a ceramic material similar to the
inorganic part of the bone and can be synthesized in a laboratory environment with different …

Fe 3 O 4, the functional component of magnetic adsorbent for separation, dissolves readily
under acidic conditions, which significantly restricts its application for treatment of acidic …

A novel catalyst, a nanostructured cubic-WC (c-WC) flat film, is introduced for the hydrogen
evolution reaction (HER) using a specialized magnetron sputtering system. This method …

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is a powerful tool to modify the surface of Ti alloys, in order to
increase the lifetime of orthopedic implants. It is well established that the resulting oxide …

Magnetic materials as adsorbents for wastewater treatment have attracted considerable
attention because of the ease of separation of adsorbents for reuse. However, the efficient …

In this study, as a measure to enhance the antimicrobial activity of biomaterials, the selenium
ions have been substituted into hydroxyapatite (HA) at different concentration levels. To …

Functionalization of titanium (Ti)-based alloy implant surfaces by deposition of calcium
phosphates (CaP) has been widely recognized. Substituted hydroxyapatites (HA) allow the …
