Abstract

The present study reports the results of the microstructure, mechanical properties and in vitro bioactivity of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr based composite with 10 wt% CPP (calcium pyrophosphate), densified using spark plasma sintering process (SPS) at different sintering temperatures (900-1200 °C). The results show that the sintered composites mainly consist of β-Ti, α-Ti, and ceramic interphases (Ti2O, CaTiO3, CaZrO3, CaO, TixPy). With the sintering temperature increasing, α-Ti and ceramic interphases gradually increase, and relative density, elastic modulus, compressive strength and yield strength of the composites also reveal an increasing tendency. However, Ti-13Nb-13Zr-10CPP composite sintered at 1000 °C exhibits high matching elastic modulus (46 GPa) and compressive strength (1617 MPa) due to uniform structure and high density. In addition, in vitro mineralization assays demonstrate the apatite-forming ability of the composite (1000 °C) and its higher surface bioactivity as compared to the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. Furthermore, ROS1728 osteoblast culture evidences that the composite (1000 °C) stimulates cell adhesion and growth due to the pore characteristics and ceramic interphases. Therefore, the prepared Ti-13Nb-13Zr-10CPP composite at...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
