Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Laser Surface-Treated Ti13Nb13Zr Alloy with MWCNTs Coatings.

Titanium and its alloys is the main group of materials used in prosthetics and implantology. Despite their popularity and many advantages associated with their biocompatibility, these materials have a few significant disadvantages. These include low biologic activity-which reduces the growth of fibrous tissue and allows loosening of the prosthesis-the possibility of metallosis and related inflammation or other allergic reactions, as well as abrasion of the material during operation.
