Characterization of Ti6al7nb Alloy Foams Surface Treated in Aqueous Naoh and Cacl2 Solutions
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Esen, Ziya; Bor, Sakir; Butev, Ezgi
Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams having 53-73% porosity were manufactured via evaporation of magnesium space holders. A bioactive 1 mu m thick sodium hydrogel titanate layer, NaxH2-xTiyO2y+1., formed after 5 M NaOH treatment, was converted to crystalline sodium titanate, Na2TiyO2y+1, as a result of post-heat treatment. On the other hand, subsequent CaCl2 treatment of NaOH treated specimens induced calcium titanate formation. However, heat treatment of NaOH-CaCl2 treated specimens led to the loss of calcium and disappearance of the titanate phase. All of the aforementioned surface treatments reduced yield strengths due to the oxidation of the cell walls of the foams, while elastic moduli remained mostly unchanged. Accordingly, equiaxed dimples seen on the fracture surfaces of as-manufactured foams turned into relatively flat and featureless fracture surfaces after surface treatments. On the other hand, Ca- and Na-rich coating preserved their mechanical stabilities and did not spall during fracture. The relation between mechanical properties of foams and macro-porosity fraction were found to obey a power law. The foams with 63 and 73% porosity met the desired biocompatibility requirements with fully open pore structures and elastic moduli similar to that of bone. In vitro tests conducted in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed that NaOH-heat treated surfaces exhibit the highest bioactivity and allow the formation of Ca-P rich phases having Ca/P ratio of 1.3 to form within 5 days. Although Ca-P rich phases formed only after 15 days on NaOH-CaCl2 treated specimens, the Ca/P ratio was closer to that of apatite found in bone. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Compositional Dependence of Raman-Active Mode Frequencies and Line Widths in Tlins2xse2(1-X) Mixed Crystals
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.
The Raman spectra of mixed crystals TlInS2xSe2(1-x) have been investigated in the composition range of 0.25 <= x <= 0.75 and in the high-frequency region of 250-350 cm(-1) at room temperature. It was observed that Raman-active mode frequencies decrease as the selenium atoms content increases in the mixed crystals. The effect of crystal disorder on the line broadening of three high-frequency modes is reported. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Novel Approach for Synthesis of Monticellite Based Bioactive Ceramic Powders From Boron Derivative Waste
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Butev, Ezgi; Esen, Ziya; Ayas, Erhan; Koroglu, Levent
Monticellite bioactive ceramics have a high usage potential as bone graft substitutes due to their superior mechanical properties compared to hydroxyapatite and excellent bioactivity. Turkey has almost 72% of the global boron reserves and the fairly high amount of emerged boron derivative waste causes storage problems and environmental pollutions. The aim of this study was the solid state synthesis of monticellite based ceramic powders from boron derivative waste and the evaluation of bioactivity characteristic of produced powders. The monticellite based ceramic powders were synthesized at low temperature (800 degrees C). The powders were incubated in Simulated Body Fluid and their surfaces were examined using a scanning electron microscope. The surfaces of synthesized powders were bioactive and allowed formation of bone-like apatite layer within 15 days. Results of the study confirmed that cost-effective and ecofriendly monticellite based bioactive ceramic powders can be synthesized from boron derivative waste. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
