The surface modification of titanium substrates and its alloys in order to improve their osseointegration properties is one of widely studied issues related to the design and production of modern orthopedic and dental implants. In this paper, we discuss the results concerning Ti6Al4V substrate surface modification by (a) alkaline treatment with a 7 M NaOH solution, and (b) production of a porous coating (anodic oxidation with the use of potential U = 5 V) and then treating its surface in the abovementioned alkaline solution. We compared the apatite-forming ability of unmodified and surface-modified titanium alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1–4 weeks. Analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns of synthesized coatings allowed their structure characterization before and after immersing in SBF. The obtained nanolayers were studied using Raman spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Elemental analysis was carried out using X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM EDX). Wettability and biointegration activity (on the basis of the degree of integration of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, L929 fibroblasts, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro on the sample surface) were also evaluated. The obtained results proved that the surfaces of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al4V covered by TiO2 nanoporous coatings, which were modified by titanate layers, promote apatite formation in the environment of body fluids and possess optimal biointegration properties for fibroblasts and osteoblasts.

An area of major interest in biomedical engineering is currently the development of improved materials for medical implants. Research efforts are being focused on the investigation of surface modification methods for metallic prostheses due to the fundamental bioinert character of these materials and the possible ion release from their surfaces, which could potentially induce the interfacial loosening of devices after implantation. Electron beam (EB) structuring is a novel technique to control the surface topography in metals. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) offers the feasibility to deposit at room temperature a variety of materials on conductive substrates from colloidal suspensions under electric fields. In this work single layers of chitosan composite coatings containing titania nanoparticles (n-TiO2) were deposit by EPD on electron beam (EB) structured Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. Surface structures were designed following different criteria in order to develop specific topography on the Ti6Al4V substrate. n-TiO2 particles were used as a model particle in order to demonstrate the versatility of the proposed technique for achieving homogenous chitosan based coatings on structured surfaces. A linear relation between EPD time and deposition yield on different patterned Ti6Al4V surfaces was determined under constant voltage conditions, obtaining homogeneous EPD coatings which replicate the 3D structure (pattern) of the substrate surface. The present results show that a combination of both techniques can be considered a promising surface modification approach for metallic implants, which should lead to improved interaction between the implant surface and the biological environment for orthopaedic applications.

An extensive numerical study on specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for ordered and isotopically disordered lattices has been made. Cv at various temperatures for ordered and disordered linear and two-dimensional lattices have been compared and no appreciable difference in Cv between these two structures has been observed. Effect of concentration of light atoms on Cv for three-dimensional isotopically disordered lattices has also been shown.In spite of taking next-nearest-neighbour interaction into account, no substantial change in Cv between the ordered and isotopically disordered linear lattices has been found. It is shown that the low lying modes contribute substantially at low temperatures.
