Metals and alloys, including stainless steel, titanium and its alloys, cobalt alloys, and other
metals and alloys have been widely used clinically as implant materials, but implant-related …

The use of implantable medical devices is a common and indispensable part of medical
care for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. However, as side effect, the implant of …

Dental implants have become the mainstream strategy for oral restoration, and implant
materials are the most important research hot spot in this field. So far, Ti implants dominate …

The therapeutic applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against biomedical device-
associated infections (BAI), by local delivery, are encountered with risks of detachment …

The development of effective and reusable photocatalysts with broad-spectra activity has
attracted attention. Herein, we have constructed n-TiO 2/p-Ag 2 O junction on carbon fiber …

Finding a novel photocatalyst that can operate over a broad range of wavelengths from UV
to near-infrared (NIR) holds great potential for diverse uses. Here, an Ag 2 O …

The objective of this study was the development of Ag-rich antibacterial coatings on titanium
to prevent post-operative infections. A series of Ag-doped TiO 2 coatings were synthesized …

Thermal oxidation, which serves as a low-cost, effective and relatively simple/facile method,
was used to modify a micro-structured titanium surface in ambient atmosphere at 450° C for …

Abstract β-type titanium alloys have attracted much attention as implant materials because of
their low elastic modulus and high strength, which is closer to human bones and can avoid …

Iron, while attracting less attention than magnesium and zinc, is still one of the best
candidates for biodegradable metal stents thanks its biocompatibility, great elastic moduli …
