    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.

    Enhanced corrosion properties of biological NiTi alloy by hydroxyapatite and bioglass based biocomposite coatings

    Say, Y.; Aksakal, B.

    Enhanced corrosion resistance is always an obligatory property in biomedical applications. For this purpose, the surfaces of NiTi alloy were duplex coated both by Hydroxyapatite (HA)/Silver (Ag) and BioGlass (BG)/Silver (Ag) using the sol-gel method. The surface morphologies, and corrosion behaviours of the coatings were examined via SEM, EDS, XRD, and mechanically, by means of hardness as well as adhesion and corrosion tests. SEM analyses showed that the homogenous and crack-free structures were obtained in the biocomposite coatings. Spherical-like structures in the coatings were observed and pitting type of corrosion was formed in the biocomposite coated NiTi surfaces. After the corrosion tests, enhanced corrosion resistance was observed in both HA- and BG- based coatings. However, HA-based HA/Ag coatings on NiTi alloys were obtained to have higher adhesion strength as well as higher corrosion resistance compared to the BG-based biocomposite coatings. The findings in the present study can help the design of future implants with higher corrosion resistance.

    Synthesis and characterization of Bioglass-based bone grafts with Gelatine substitution for biomedical applications

    Aksakal, B.; Demirel, M.

    Background: Syntesizing alternative bone graft materials are important in biomedical applications. Their morphology, mechanical properties and cell viability plays an important role in tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE: Bioglass (B) based bone grafts with Gelatin (G) substitution were syntesized via the sol-gel method and were compared with various Gelatin and Bioglass concentrations (wt%). METHODS: Syntesized bone grafts were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to show the structural and morphological changes of the fabricated B-based bone grafts. RESULTS: It was demonstrated that the concentration of pore size increased with increasing amounts of Gelatin in wt%. The biograft-B40G20 produced the highest flexture strength and hardness. Increasing the pore size caused a decrease in hardness and flexture stress of B-based biografts. CONCLUSIONS: Cell viability tests were conducted on the fabricated biografts and it was shown that the cell viability increased in fabricated B-based bone grafts.
