Surface modification of implants in the nanoscale or implant nano-engineering has been
recognized as a strategy for augmenting implant bioactivity and achieving long-term implant …

Dental implants are widely used to restore missing teeth because of their stability and
comfort characteristics. Peri-implant infection may lead to implant failure and other profound …

Wear and corrosion are common issues of material degradation and failure in industrial
appliances. Wear is a damaging process that can impact surface contacts and, more …

Indentation test is a powerful method of material characterization for measuring and
extracting mechanical properties at small scales with a long history and wide range of …

The study investigates the impact of textured surface parameters and pump operating
parameters on the friction performance of slipper pairs in axial piston pumps. The orthogonal …

Inspired by nature, it is envisaged that a nanorough surface exhibits bactericidal properties
by rupturing bacterial cells. In order to study the interaction mechanism between the cell …

This work investigated the wear behavior of ultrafine-grained Ti65Nb23. 33Zr5Ta1. 67Fe5
(at.%, TNZTF) and Ti65Nb23. 33Zr5Ta1. 67Si5 (at.%, TNZTS) alloys fabricated by high …

As a widely used material, titanium is highly sought after due to its significant corrosion
resistance properties resulting from the self-passivating natural oxide layer. Hydrothermal …

Nanoparticle adhesion to polymer and similar substrates may be prone to low nano-Newton
forces, disrupting the surface bonds and patterning, potentially reducing the functionality of …

The atomic force microscope is a versatile tool for assessing the topography, friction, and
roughness of a broad spectrum of surfaces, encompassing anti-bacterial nanostructure …
