Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely utilized in orthopedic and dental applications due to their favorable mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Notably, titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and can form a stable oxide layer, ensuring the longevity and functionality of implants in challenging physiological environments. This study investigates the corrosion behavior of α-Ti alloy in physiological saline solutions, emphasizing the role of key biomolecules found in the human body, including albumin, glycine, and glucose, as well as additional substances such as hydrogen peroxide (HO) and hydroxyapatite (Hap).

The glass composition with BO/PO = 1 exhibits a conductivity of approximately 10 S/cm at 250 °C. Dielectric analysis supports this improved conduction, showing higher dielectric values and minimal energy dissipation during storage, indicating promising conductivity and favorable dielectric properties.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(HPO(4))(C(2)H(3)N(3))](n), contains one Zn(2+) cation, one (HPO(4))(2-) anion and a 1,2,4 triazole ligand. The Zn(2+) cation is coordinated in a quite regular tetra-hedral geometry by O atoms from three phosphate groups and a tertiary N atom from the triazole ring. Each phosphate anion is connected to three Zn(II) cations, leading to a series of corrugated organic-inorganic layers parallel to the ac plane.
