Statement Of Problem: There are few studies on titanium casting shrinkage, and phosphate-bonded investments for titanium casting have not produced appropriate marginal fit.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal shrinkage of titanium and the setting and thermal expansion of 3 phosphate-bonded investments.
Material And Methods: The thermal shrinkage between the melting temperature and room temperature was calculated using a titanium thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal and setting expansion were measured for 3 phosphate bonded investments: Rematitan Plus (RP) specific for titanium, Rema Exakt (RE), and Castorit Super C (CA), using different special liquid concentrations (100%, 75%, and 50%). Setting expansion was measured for cylindrical specimens 50 mm long x 8 mm in diameter with a transducer. The heating and cooling curves were obtained with a dilatometer (DIL 402 PC). The total expansion curve was drawn using software, and temperatures to obtain expansion equivalent to titanium casting shrinkage were determined (n=5). In addition, the total expansion of the control group (RP at 430 degrees C) was measured, as well as the temperatures at which the other groups achieved equivalent total expansion (n=5). Data were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test (alpha=.05).
Results: Titanium casting shrinkage was estimated as 1.55%. RP did not achieve this expansion. RE achieved expansion of 1.55% only with a special liquid concentration of 100% at 594 degrees C. CA with all special liquid concentrations attained this expansion (351 degrees C to 572 degrees C). Total expansion of the control group was 0.86%, and the other groups reached that expansion within the range of 70 degrees C to 360 degrees C.
Conclusions: Only RE and CA demonstrated sufficient expansion to compensate for titanium casting shrinkage. All groups reached total expansion equivalent to that of the control group at significantly lower temperatures.

Bacterial infections significantly delay the physiological wound healing process and can cause further damage to the wound region. In the current work, we aim to design titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) incorporated with chitosan (Chi) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film using the casting method and to study their potential for faster wound healing. The prepared TiO NPs were analyzed for physicochemical properties, and TEM results showed an average particle size of 39.

Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the antimicrobial properties of TiO incorporated polylactic acid (PLA) films activated by pulsed light (PL), using different ratios of TiO/PLA.
- The films were tested for their effectiveness against bacteria after various PL treatments, revealing significant reductions in bacterial populations, especially with a 5-second PL treatment.
- Results showed that the TiO-PLA films maintained their antibacterial activity for 2 hours post-treatment, indicating their potential use in food packaging applications sensitive to UV light.

Introduction: Impact loads applied to the human head can result in skull fractures or other injuries that require a craniectomy. The removed portion is replaced with biological or synthetic materials using cranioplasty surgery. Titanium has been the material of choice for cranial implants due to its superior properties and biocompatibility; however, its issues have prompted the search for substitute materials (e.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating anisotropic gold-silver nanoparticles (a-AuAg) coated on titanium sheets to improve Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting harmful milk adulterants like melamine.
- These a-AuAg nanoparticles exhibit unique shapes (triangular, hexagonal, pentagonal) that significantly enhance SERS performance, showing a 1.7 x 10 improvement in sensitivity compared to regular spherical nanoparticles.
- The detection limits for melamine were found to be very low in spiked samples, with a higher sensitivity compared to traditional methods, although tested commercial milk products did not show detectable melamine.
