The entire route from anodic oxidation and surface characterization, including in vitro experiments and finally in vivo osseointegration assays were performed with the aim to evaluate nanotubular and crystalline annealed titanium oxides as a suitable surface for grade 2 titanium permanent implants. Polished titanium (T0) was compared with anodized surfaces obtained in acidic media with fluoride, leading to an ordered nanotubular structure of titanium oxide on the metal surface, characterized by tube diameter of 89 ± 24 nm (Tnts). Samples were thermally treated in air (TntsTT) to increase the anatase crystalline phase on nanotubes, with minor alteration of the structure. Corrosion tests were performed to evaluate the electrochemical response after 1, 14, and 28 days of immersion in simulated body fluid. Based on the in vitro results, heat-treated titanium nanotubes (TntsTT) were selected as a promissory candidate to continue with the osseointegration in vivo assays. The in vivo results showed no major improvement in the osseointegration process when compared with untreated Ti after 30 days of implantation and there also was a lower increase in the development of new osseous tissue.

Plasmonic core-shell nanostructures can make photocatalysis more efficient for several reasons. The shell imparts stability to the nanoparticles, light absorption is expanded, and electron-hole pairs can be separated more effectively, thus reducing recombination losses. The synthesis of metal@TiO core-shell nanoparticles with nanometer control over the shell thickness and understanding its effect on the resulting photocatalytic efficiency still remains challenging.

Objectives: Hybrid implants commonly exhibit decreased corrosion resistance and fatigue due to differences in compressive residual stresses between the smooth and rough surfaces. The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of an annealing heat treatment to reduce the residual stresses in hybrid implants.
Methodology: Commercially pure titanium (CpTi) bars were heat-treated at 800 °C and different annealing times.

Article Synopsis
- Microstamping significantly boosts the surface strength of alloy materials, specifically TiAl6V4, by increasing interatomic density and improving mechanical properties at the atomic level.
- The research includes a detailed examination of how different overlap ratios during microstamping affect the damage mechanism, dislocation density, and overall material structure, revealing that dislocation density remains stable despite higher overlap.
- Through simulations using ATOMSK and LAMMPS, the study proposes an optimal microstamping overlay ratio to enhance surface strength while minimizing processing time based on a thorough analysis of stress variations and microstructural changes.

Medium-entropy Zr-Nb-Ti (ZNT) alloys are being extensively investigated as load-bearing implant materials because of their exceptional biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, and low magnetic susceptibility. Nevertheless, enhancing their yield strength while simultaneously decreasing their elastic modulus presents a formidable obstacle, significantly constraining their broader utilization as metallic biomaterials. In this study, three medium-entropy ZNT alloys, i.
