    Investigation of in-vitro bioactivity, electrochemical corrosion, wettability and adhesion properties of bioglass-based coatings modified with Y2O3 and Zr on novel β-type Ti-30Zr-5Mo alloys

    Dikici, B.; Say, Y.; Zhao, X.; Niinomi, M.; Szechyńska-Hebda, M.

    In this study, the in-vitro bioactivity, electrochemical corrosion resistance, wettability, and adhesion properties of bioglass-based coatings modified with Y2O3 and ZrO2 on Ti-30Zr-5Mo alloy were investigated. The coatings were prepared using the sol-gel method and applied to the alloy substrates through dip-coating. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the coatings were analyzed using SEM/EDS and XRD techniques. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to assess the electrochemical behavior of the coatings under in-vitro conditions. Contact angle measurements were conducted to evaluate the wettability of the surfaces. Adhesion strength was measured using tensile testing in accordance with ISO 13779-2 standards. Bioactivity tests were performed by immersing the samples in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results demonstrate that the addition of Y2O3 and ZrO2 improves adhesion strength and corrosion potential, but introducing localized galvanic effects that increase the corrosion current density. Besides, the coatings maintained their structural integrity after the bioactivity tests, and promoted new apatite formation.

    In-vitro corrosion and surface properties of PVD-coated β-type TNTZ alloys for potential usage as biomaterials: Investigating the hardness, adhesion, and antibacterial properties of TiN, ZrN, and CrN film

    Ali, L.A.; Dikici, B.; Aslan, N.; Yilmazer, Y.; Sen, A.; Yilmazer, H.; Niinomi, M.

    In this study, the corrosion and surface properties of non-toxic and non-allergenic β-type Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr alloys (TNTZ) coated with TiN, ZrN, and CrN layers using the PVD technique were investigated under in-vitro conditions. The coatings' hardness, adhesion resistance, and antibacterial properties were also studied, with a focus on their potential usage as biomaterials. The corrosion tests were conducted using potentiodynamic polarization, the hardness tests were conducted using the Knoop method, and the adhesion tests were conducted using pull-off tests. The wetting properties of the coatings were examined through contact angle and 3D morphological analysis. The coatings were characterized using SEM-EDS and XRD. The results showed that the adhesion resistance of all coatings was significantly higher than the expected adhesion strength for biomaterial coatings, while their corrosion resistance was higher compared to the uncoated alloy. Besides, the study demonstrates the potential of TiN, ZrN, and CrN coatings on β-type TNTZ for use as a biomaterial with desirable surface and antibacterial properties.

    Synthesis and Characterization of Hydroxyapatite/TiO2 Coatings on the β-Type Titanium Alloys with Different Sintering Parameters using Sol-Gel Method

    Dikici, B.; Niinomi, M.; Topuz, M.; Say, Y.; Aksakal, B.; Yilmazer, H.; Nakai, M.

    In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) based composite films were successfully syntheses on the β-type Ti29Nb13Ta4.6Zr (TNTZ). The solutionized TNTZ substrates coated with HA and HA/Titania (TiO2) bioactive composite coatings by sol-gel method under various sintering parameters related to sintering temperatures and heating ramp rates. Microstructural observations of the coatings revealed that apatite was formed on the substrates. The hardness values of the coatings increase with increasing both the sintering temperature and the TiO2 concentration in the coatings layer. However, it was found that the heating ramp rate of the sintering was not affecting the hardness values so much. Also, the hardness values of the HA/TiO2 composite coatings at all sintering temperatures were higher than only HA coated TNTZ samples due to the existence TiO2 phases in the HA matrix. Results indicating that the doping of HA with TiO2, improve the physical consistency between the coating layer and the substrates and provide a better inter-particle bonding due to the existence TiO2 phases in the HA.
