    Abstract : A literature review of medical implant applications of mesoporous silica films was written, highlighting the advantages and limitations of different film synthesis methods. Both films synthesized through the EISA sol-gel method and particulate films, including those synthesized through the direct growth method, were reviewed and discussed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Ti-Cu alloys for medical applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2019]
    Keywords : Medical; Ti-Cu alloys; Ti-Cu legeringar; medicin; medicinteknik; materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Bacterial infections caused by the formation of a biofilm on the implant aftersurgery is a severe problem affecting the implants long term function and often leading to implant failure. Copper is a natural trace element found in the human body, and has recently become a possible alloying element with strongantibacterial properties. READ MORE
