Project Overview: Investigation of the Corrosion Resistance of Nanostructured Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Applications
The use of titanium alloys in biomedical applications has significantly increased due to their excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, in certain aggressive environments such as the human body, titanium alloys can still undergo corrosion, which can compromise the performance and longevity of medical implants.
This project aims to investigate the corrosion resistance of nanostructured titanium alloys to enhance their suitability for biomedical applications. Nanostructuring of titanium alloys has shown great potential in improving their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance by reducing grain size and creating barriers that impede the movement of corrosion-inducing species.
Research Objectives:
- Characterize the nanostructure of titanium alloys using advanced microscopy techniques.
- Assess the mechanical properties of nanostructured titanium alloys.
- Evaluate the corrosion resistance of nanostructured titanium alloys through electrochemical tests in simulated physiological environments.
- Investigate the effect of nanostructure on the biocompatibility of titanium alloys through in vitro experiments.
Methodology:
The project will involve the fabrication of nanostructured titanium alloys using techniques such as severe plastic deformation, additive manufacturing, or surface modification. The nanostructure of the alloys will be characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Mechanical properties, including tensile strength and hardness, will be evaluated using standard mechanical testing methods. Corrosion resistance will be assessed through electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in electrolytes mimicking physiological conditions.
The biocompatibility of the nanostructured titanium alloys will be tested using cell culture studies to evaluate cell adhesion, proliferation, and cytotoxicity.
Expected Outcomes:
- Identification of the optimal nanostructure for enhanced corrosion resistance of titanium alloys.
- Understanding the relationship between nanostructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance in titanium alloys.
- Evaluation of the biocompatibility of nanostructured titanium alloys for potential biomedical applications.
Overall, this project will contribute to the development of nanostructured titanium alloys with improved corrosion resistance for use in biomedical implants, such as orthopedic implants, dental implants, and cardiovascular stents, ultimately benefiting patients through enhanced performance and longevity of medical devices.
