AI Article Synopsis
- Titanium is a widely used biomaterial, and this study examines how adenine, thymine, and l-histidine affect its corrosion in simulated body solutions.
- Various electrochemical techniques revealed that these biomolecules enhance titanium's corrosion resistance by forming a stable protective film on its surface.
- Quantum chemical calculations supported the electrochemical findings, suggesting that adenine, thymine, and l-histidine could serve as effective corrosion inhibitors for titanium.
Article Abstract
Titanium is one of the most used biomaterials for different applications. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of adenine, thymine, and l-histidine as important biomolecules in the human body on the corrosion behavior of titanium in simulated body solutions. Open circuit measurements, potentiodynamic measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, and quantum chemical calculations were employed during the investigation. All electrochemical methods used revealed that the investigated biomolecules provide better corrosion resistance to titanium in artificial body solutions. The increase in corrosion resistance is a result of the formation of a stable protective film on the metal surface. Also, quantum chemical calculations are in compliance with electrochemical test results and indicate that adenine, thymine, and l-histidine may act as corrosion inhibitors in the investigated solutions.
