ABSTRACTThe diffusion of cesium(I), strontium(II), pertechnetate and europium in brine-saturated backfill materials was measured. Plastic diffusion cells containing cylindrical diffusion columns were used for low density backfill materials. The diffusion of gamma-emitters was followed by a gamma scanning technique. Metal diffusion cells constructed entirely from Hastelloy C-276 were used for the diffusion of pertechnetate in highly compacted bentonite. Apparent distribution coefficients calculated from diffusion data are (a) 0.02 m3 /kg for cesium(I) in 40 wt.% mordenite and 60 wt.% bentonite; (b) 0.04 m3/kg for strontium(II) in 10 wt.% sodium titanate and 90 wt.% bentonite; (c) 0.5 m3/kg for pertechnetate in 70 wt.% charcoal and 30 wt.% bentonite; and (d) 3 m3/kg for europium in 100% bentonite. Backfill effectiveness estimates based on batch sorption measurements were supported by these results;however, the diffusion results for europium did not agree well with a model for diffusion retarded by linear sorption. First measurements of pertechnetate diffusion in highly compacted bentonite suggest that anion exclusion may play a role in reducing mass transport rates of anions in this material. Needs for diffusion measurements that take into account site-specific materials interactions are described.

Biomimetic coating of titanium and related alloys with carbonated apatitic calcium phosphate is an important area of research in implantology. While this paper specifically refers to coating Ti6Al4V, the results are valid with other related alloys as well. One step in the protocol involves an intermediate alkali treatment of Ti6Al4V to form a sodium titanate layer on the alloy surface. This pretreatment enhances the formation of the coating from simulated body fluid (SBF) solutions. Many papers in the biomimetic coating literature demonstrate the presence of cracks in coatings, irrespective of the SBF compositions and placement of the substrates. The presence of cracks may result in degradation and delamination of coatings. To the best of our knowledge, this issue remains unresolved. Therefore, the aim of this study was: (i) to examine and understand the reasons for cracking and (ii) based on the results, to develop a protocol for producing crack-free apatitic calcium phosphate coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates. In this study, the authors focused their attention on the alkali treatment procedure and the final drying step. It is hypothesized that these two steps of the process affect the crack formation the most. In the first case, the surfaces of alkali-treated substrates were examined with/without water-soaking treatment before immersing in SBF. This water treatment modifies the sodium titanate surface layer. In the second case, two different drying techniques (after soaking in SBF) were used. In one procedure, the coated substrates were dried rapidly, and in the other they were dried slowly. It was observed that the water treatment, irrespective of the drying method, provides a surface, which on subsequent soaking in SBF forms a crack-free apatitic calcium phosphate coating. Based on these results, the authors suggest a protocol incorporating a water-soaking treatment after the alkali treatment and prior to the SBF soaking treatment to obtain crack-free coatings.

Titanium and its alloys have been widely used as biomaterials for hard tissue replacements because of their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the bonding between their surfaces and bone is not enough after implantation. The bioactive surface modification such as a hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating on their surfaces has been investigated. Recently, a simple method for forming HAp layer on the surfaces of titanium and its alloys has been developed. This method is called as alkaline treatment process. In this method, HAp deposits on the surfaces of titanium and its alloys by dipping into simulated body fluid (SBF) after an alkaline solution treatment that is followed by a baking treatment (alkaline treatment). This process is applicable to newly developed beta-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy (TNTZ) for biomedical applications achieving bioactive HAp modification. In this study, the morphology of the HAp layer formed on the surface of TNTZ was investigated after various alkaline treatments followed by dipping in SBF. The formability of HAp on the surface of TNTZ was then discussed. The formability of HAp on TNTZ is much lower than that of commercially pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V ELI and Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al alloys, which are representative metallic biomaterials. The formability of HAp on TNTZ is improved by increasing the amount of Na in the sodium titanate gels formed during an alkaline solution treatment where the NaOH concentrations and the dipping time are over 5 M and 172.8 ks, respectively. The formability of HAp on TNTZ is considerably improved by dipping in a 5 M NaOH solution for 172.8 ks. This condition for alkaline solution treatment process is the most suitable for TNTZ.
