Abstract SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS possess distinct dynamic properties with particular
applications in neurosurgery. Because of their unique physical characteristics, these …

Endovascular stents have historically been manufactured using metals and metal
composites. While metallic implants in nonvascular locations have been biologically well …

Plasma nanocoated films with trimethylsilane-oxygen monomers showed outstanding
biocompatibility in our previous studies. In this study, endothelialization on biomedical nitinol …

A variety of surface treatment methods were evaluated to modify the hydrophilic nature of
thin film nitinol (NiTi). It has been suggested that increasing hydrophilicity reduces the …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to clarify the influence of chromium content on
surface reaction of Ti–Cr alloys in an acidic fluoride-containing saline solution. METHODS …

The corrosion behavior of Nitinol‐based medical implants is critical to their success in vivo.
Contemporary Nitinol‐based medical implants are typically chemically passivated or …

The surfaces of porous NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) were modified by double
treatment of passivation (PA) in HNO3 solution and oxygen plasma immersion ion …

Self-expanding Nitinol stents have revolutionized the treatment of peripheral vascular
disease. Nitinol stents are manufactured to a size slightly larger than the target vessel size …

The longevity and functionality of biomaterials such as Ti–Ni are governed by their surface
reactions in in vivo environments. These reactions at interfaces include chemical …

Electropolishing has been widely used as a surface-modification technique to enhance
tissue-to-material interaction by generating a smooth hydrophilic surface and forming a new …
