Orientation of collagen fibers by mechanical transduction on osteoblastic cells
(2011)
MC3T3-E1 Osteoblastic cells were mechanically stimulated using a static load of 3, 6 and 9 lb during 2, 4, 6 and 8 days of incubation. The Collagen Type I expression rate was analyzed using the Near Infrared Microscope ...
A study of the corrosion resistance of gamma titanium aluminide in ringer's solution, 3.5 WT% NaCI and seawater
(2005)
Corrosion resistance is one of the essential requirements that determine the application of a metallic alloy as a biomaterial. The titanium alloy, gamma titanium aluminide (γTiAl), widely known for its low density, high ...
Expression of focal adhesions in response to inducing cellular orientation through mechanical transduction
(2014)
Loading frequency and the stiffness of the substrate are associated with changes in the expression of focal adhesions in adherent cells. In turn, any change in the characteristics of the focal adhesions generates a ...
Characterization of the dynamic onset of fibric damage in type I collagen fascicles
(2009)
The mechanical properties of collagen in the form of Type I fascicles obtained from rat tail tendons were determined under dynamic loading conditions. Experimental procedures and apparatus were developed to establish a ...
Corrosion behavior of AI-AI2O3 composites in aerated 3.5% chloride solution
(2010)
Aluminum based metal matrix composites are finding many applications in engineering. Of these Al-Al2O3 composites appear to have promise in a number of defense applications because of their mechanical properties. However, ...
Development and characterization of oxide scaffolds on gamma-TiAI surfaces to enhance osseointegration
(2009)
The wear properties of oxidized and non-oxidized gamma-TiAl (a potential biomaterial) as well as Ti-6Al-4V and CP-Ti disks were studied and characterized by means of standard wear tests using a Bone pin arrangement. The ...
Effect of recycling on material properties of polyethylene terephthalate at various recycling ratios and recycling generations
(2004)
Recycled plastics are considered low performance materials because their properties decrease with recycling. Resin manufacturers use rules of thumb to recommend recycled plastic usage, usually 25% or less by weight. These ...
Evaluation of the effect of substrate modulus of elasticity on cancerous cell cultures
(2014-05)
Cell adhesion and spreading affect physiological functions, such as cell growth, differentiation and motility. These characteristics in turn are affected by the properties of the substrate such as roughness, stiffness and ...
Electrochemical characterization of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on TiAI and Ti6AI4V for biomedical applications
(2010)
The titanium alloys presently used for hard tissue replacement and other biomedical applications meet the principal requirements to perform with adequate host response in the body environment. However, some concern related ...
Electrochemical characterization of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on TiAI and Ti6AI-4V alloys for biological implant applications
(2012)
One manner of understanding the processes that occur at the implant surface/cell interface is to utilize the electrochemical response of this system as a consequence of protein adsorption, cell adhesion and cell growth on ...
