We present a multiscale computational approach for the first-principles study of bio-nano interactions. Using titanium dioxide as a case study, we evaluate the affinity of titania nanoparticles to water and biomolecules through atomistic and coarse-grained techniques.

The early stages of precipitation process of the γ' phase of a Ni–Al–Ti alloy are investigated by microscopic phase-field and first-principles calculations. The simulated results indicate that a pre-precipitate with L10 structure appears before the L12 ordered phase, and then this metastable phase gradually transforms to L12 ordered phase; finally, the precipitated phase is composed of γ' ordered phase and γ matrix phase. The occupation probabilities of Al, Ni, and Ti atoms also illustrate the formation of the L10 phase and its situ conversion to L12 ordered phase constituted by a complicated compound Ni3(AlTi). Through the analyses of order parameter and occupation probability, the precipitation mechanism of γ' phase is drawn as a combination of congruent ordering and destabilization decomposition. Meanwhile, we also find that the growth and coarsening of the γ' phase occur via mixed mechanisms of Ostwald ripening and coalescence coarsening of neighboring precipitates. Moreover, the first-principles method is applied to calculate the thermodynamic parameters and validate further the appearance of the metastable phase and the site preference of Ti atom, which offers an explanation for atomic occupancy characteristics in the precipitate.

An analysis of the experimental data related to the mechanism of Pt particles sintering has been carried out using the modified LSW theory. The size distribution for the Pt nanoparticles at the stage of Ostwald ripening fits the generalized Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner model calculated with the assumption of two parallel mechanisms involved in the nanoparticles growth (dissolution): diffusion and Wagner’s (controlled by the chemical reaction rate). Comparison between the experimental histograms and the curves calculated theoretically proves the governing role of the Wagner’s mechanism (chemical reaction) in the Pt nanoparticles growth.

This review is an attempt to summarize current research on ozone, titanium dioxide (TiO2), silver (Ag), copper oxide CuO and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs). These agents can be used in various fields of dentistry such as conservative dentistry, endodontic, prosthetic or dental surgery. Nanotechnology and ozone can facilitate the dentist’s work by providing antimicrobial properties to dental materials or ensuring a decontaminated work area. However, the high potential of these agents for use in medicine should be confirmed in further research due to possible side effects, especially in long duration of observation so that the best way to apply them can be obtained.
