The effect of various treatments on surface chemical composition and structure, and bioactivity of Ti6Al7Nb bulk alloys has been investigated. The alloys were treated employing aqueous solutions of NaOH and CaCl2 separately, and also by subsequent CaCl2 treatment after NaOH treatment (NaOH-CaCl2 treatment) which were followed by heat treatment. NaOH treatment was observed to be effective in enrichment of surface layer with Na. On the other hand, Na+ ions were mostly replaced by Ca2+ ions as a result of NaOH-CaCl2 treatment, while single step CaCl2 treatment was less effective in Ca incorporation. Additionally, porous network surface structure seen in NaOH and NaOH-CaCl2 treated samples was completely different than globular morphology detected in CaCl2-treated samples in single step. Subsequent heat treatments caused coarsening of surface structure and loss of some Na+ and Ca2+ ions. NaOH and NaOH-heat treated samples did not exhibit apatite formation within 15 days immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). On the other hand, NaOH-CaCl2 samples had the highest apatite formation; however, NaOH-CaCl2-heat treated samples did not display any mineralization. Conversely, CaCl2 treated samples allowed apatite formation after heat treatment.

In vitro bioactivity investigation of alkali treated Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams Butev, Ezgi; ESEN, ZİYA; Bor, Sakir (2015-02-01) Biocompatible Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams with 70% porosity manufactured by space holder method were activated via alkali treatment using 5 M NaOH solution at 60 degrees C. The interconnected pore structures enabled formation of homogenous sodium rich coating on the foam surfaces by allowing penetration of alkali solution throughout the pores which had average size of 200 mu m. The resulted coating layer having 500 nm thickness exhibited porous network morphology with 100 nm pore size. On the other hand, heat trea...
Bond strength and failure analysis of lining materials to denture resin Aydin, AK; Terzioglu, H; Akinay, AE; Ulubayram, K; Hasırcı, Nesrin (1999-05-01) Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the bonding properties of five lining materials to a denture base resin. Two hard (chemical-cured resin: Kooliner "Coe Labs, USA" and light-cured VLC resin: Triad "Dentsply, USA") and three soft (chemical-cured resin: Express "Alcos,-USA", heat-temperature vulcanized 'HTV' silicone material: Molloplast-B "Regneri GmbH, Germany" and room-temperature vulcanized 'RTV' silicone material:Ufi Gel-P "Voco,Germany") liners were used.
Coating of iron oxide pellets for direct reduction Basdag, A; Arol, Ali İhsan (2002-06-01) Depending upon their chemical composition and, to a lesser extent, on their physical properties, iron oxide pellets exhibit varying degrees of sticking tendency during direct reduction at elevated temperatures. For an efficient shaft furnace operation in direct reduction (DR), it is imperative to prevent pellets from sticking to each other and, hence, forming clusters. Coating of pellets with a suitable inorganic material has increasingly been gaining recognition amongst the pellet producers and DR plant op...
Calcium Phosphate Mineralization on Calcium Carbonate Particle Incorporated Silk-Fibroin Composites Kapusuz, Derya; Ercan, Batur (2019-09-01) In this study, three anhydrous forms of calcium carbonate, namely vaterite, aragonite and calcite, with distinct morphologies were incorporated inside silk-fibroin to fabricate composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. To assess calcium phosphate mineralization, composite scaffolds were treated with simulated body fluid up to one month. It was observed that composite scaffolds having different calcium carbonate polymorphs expressed different mineralization. Incorporating 25 wt. % of vaterite ...
Synthesis of calcium carbonate particles for biomedical applications Oral, Çağatay Mert; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles have been widely used in biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In order to effectively utilize CaCO3 particles in biomedical applications, their physical and chemical properties should be systematically controlled. However, this is a challenging task due to the presence of three different anhydrous CaCO3 polymorphs having complex crystallization behavior. In this thesis, CaCO3 particles were synthesized at distinct environments to c...
