A Bio-Tribocorrosion Comparison Between Additively Manufactured And Forged Ti6al4v Parts, Sina Matin, Sahar Toorandaz, Saman Nikpour, Hamidreza Abdolvand, Eshan Toyserkani, Yolanda S. Hedberg

Chemistry Publications

Ti6Al4V has been used widely as a biomedical alloy and is increasingly manufactured by additive manufacturing due to customized shapes. As implant material, it is frequently exposed to both friction and corrosive environments. This study investigates the effect of the fabrication process (laser powder bed fusion and forging) on the tribocorrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V in various environments including diluted hydrochloric acid to simulate the acidic environment in a crevice (HCl), phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.3) with 10 g/L bovine serum albumin (PBS+BSA), and PBS+BSA with 30 mM H2O2. While the presence of BSA hindered the repassivation (reforming of the protective passive …

Powder coatings are a promising, solvent-free alternative to traditional liquid coatings due to the superior corrosion protection they provide. This study investigates the effects of incorporating montmorillonite-based nanoclay additives with different particle sizes into polyester/triglycidyl isocyanurate (polyester/TGIC) powder coatings. The objective is to enhance the corrosion-protective function of the coatings while addressing the limitations of commonly employed epoxy-based coating systems that exhibit inferior UV resistance. The anti-corrosive and surface qualities of the coatings were evaluated via neutral salt spray tests, electrochemical measurements, and surface analytical techniques. Results show that the nanoclay with a larger particle size of 18.38 µm (D50, …

A reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) model, the EpiDerm, was investigated and compared to human skin ex vivo regarding tissue penetration and distribution of two chromium species, relevant in both occupational and general exposure in the population. Imaging mass spectrometry was used in analysis of the sectioned tissue. The RHE model gave similar results compared to human skin ex vivo for skin penetration of Cr


Investigating The Structure Of The Oxide On Ni-Cr-Mo Alloys While Presenting A Method For Analysis Of Complex Oxides Using Quases, Adam M. Morgan, Jeffrey D. Henderson, Brad A. Kobe, Mark Biesinger, James J. Noel Jun 2023

Investigating The Structure Of The Oxide On Ni-Cr-Mo Alloys While Presenting A Method For Analysis Of Complex Oxides Using Quases, Adam M. Morgan, Jeffrey D. Henderson, Brad A. Kobe, Mark Biesinger, James J. Noel

Chemistry Publications

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a technique that is widely used to studythin oxide films because of its extremely high surface sensitivity. Utilizing theQUASES (Quantitative Analysis of Surfaces by Electron Spectroscopy) software pack-age developed by Sven Tougaard (University of Southern Denmark), a user canobtain additional information that is not extracted in conventional XPS analysis, spe-cifically the composition as a function of depth. Presented here is the QUASES analy-sis of four Ni-Cr-Mo alloys performed while testing various inelastic mean free path(IMFP) determination methods in the context of providing a framework for the analy-sis of complex oxides in QUASES. Ni-Cr-Mo alloys are …

Designing Polymers With Stimuli-Responsive Degradation For Biomedical Applications, Chuanfeng Li, Zhengyu Deng, Elizabeth R. Gillies Mar 2023

Designing Polymers With Stimuli-Responsive Degradation For Biomedical Applications, Chuanfeng Li, Zhengyu Deng, Elizabeth R. Gillies

Chemistry Publications

Early biomedical applications of polymers were in areas such as joint replacements and often involved durable polymers. However, biodegradable polymers are increasingly being used to perform temporary functions such as drug delivery or supporting cells, after which they can break down and be eliminated from the body. Polymers that degrade specifically in response to stimuli offer additional opportunities to control when and where this degradation occurs, enabling enhanced functions such as site-specific drug release and the early detection of disease. In this article, we will discuss recent advancements in the design, preparation, and application of stimuli-responsive polymer degradation. In …


Atomistic Details Of Peptide Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography From Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Pablo M Scrosati, Lars Konermann Jan 2023

Atomistic Details Of Peptide Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography From Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Pablo M Scrosati, Lars Konermann

Chemistry Publications

Peptide separations by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) are an integral part of bottom-up proteomics. These separations typically employ C18 columns with water/acetonitrile gradient elution in the presence of formic acid. Despite the widespread use of such workflows, the exact nature of peptide interactions with the stationary and mobile phases are poorly understood. Here we employ microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to uncover details of peptide RPLC. We examined two tryptic peptides, a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic species, in a slit pore lined with C18 chains that were grafted onto SiO2 support. Our simulations explored peptide trapping, followed by desorption …

Biomedical cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys (CoCrMo) are frequently used for orthopedic implant and dental materials exposed to mechanical stressors, such as wear and cyclic load. Due to the high demand for customizable implant shapes, these alloys are increasingly manufactured by additive manufacturing methods such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). LPBF results in different microstructures and surface roughness as a function of the building direction. This study investigated the corrosion resistance, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and microstructure of LPBF CoCrMo (low carbon content, heat-treated) in the XY (perpendicular) and XZ (parallel) plane of the building direction for as-printed (as-received) and abraded surfaces. A distinct …
