Metallic materials are used extensively as orthopedic implants, dental materials, sensing
elements of bioelectrodes, and other applications. The electrochemical behavior of these …

Directed cell adhesion remains an important goal of implant and tissue engineering
technology. In this study, surface energy and surface roughness were investigated to ascertain …

The effect of 16 pure metals on the in vitro growth of a form of dental caries producing
Streptococcus mutans was studied under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Cobalt and …

The composition of ionically dissolved and precipitated corrosion products from both free
corrosion of ASTM F75 Co–Cr–Mo and galvanostatic polarization of Co–Cr–Mo and F138 316L …

A mathematical algorithm has been developed to compute the combined toxicity of mixtures
of metal contaminants using toxicity data for the individual components of the mixture. The …

The overall objective of this research was to monitor the uptake kinetics of lead in an
amphibian model and correlate metal content with embryo development. Based upon the …

The toxicity of aqueous metal solutions representative of ionic degradation products from
orthopedic implant alloys was determined using a bacterial bioluminescence assay, Microtox®. …

Behavior of implant alloys exposed simultaneously to tensile stresses and corrosion
environments has been examined. In the in vivo studies, a stainless steel and a titanium alloy …

Static stresses affect the corrosion behaviour of 316L stainless steel, Ti-6AI-4V, and a Co-Cr-Mo
alloy. Several corrosion parameters are modified by stress, although the changes most …
