This work concerns the development of a method of functionalization of the surface of the biomedical Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy by producing oxide nanotubes (ONTs) with drug-eluting properties. Shaping of the morphology, microstructure, and thickness of the oxide layer was carried out by anodization in an aqueous solution of 1 M ethylene glycol with the addition of 0.2 M NHF in the voltage range 5-100 V for 15-60 min at room temperature. The characterization of the physicochemical properties of the obtained ONTs was performed using SEM, XPS, and EDAX methods. ONTs have been shown to be composed mainly of TiO, AlO, and NbO. Single-walled ONTs with the largest specific surface area of 600 cm cm can be obtained by anodization at 50 V for 60 min. The mechanism of ONT formation on the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy was studied in detail. Gentamicin sulfate loaded into ONTs was studied using FTIR, TG, DTA, and DTG methods. Drug release kinetics was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The obtained ONTs can be proposed for use in modern implantology as carriers for drugs delivered locally in inflammatory conditions.

The colonization of microbes and the resulting formation of biofilms on dental implants are significant contributors to peri-implantitis and the failure of these implants. The aim of the research was to analyze the impact of density and depth of laser texturing of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy surface on the colonization of selected microorganisms and biofilm formation. Standard strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts from the American Type Culture Collection-ATCC-were used to demonstrate the ability to form single-species biofilms in vitro.

Additive manufacturing from metal powders using selective laser melting technology is gaining increasing interest in various industries. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of changes in process parameter values on the relative density, microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy samples. The experiment was conducted in response to a noticeable gap in the research on the manufacturability of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy in SLM technology.

: Titanium alloys are among the most widely used materials in medicine, especially in orthopedics. However, their use requires the application of an appropriate surface modification method to improve their properties. Such methods include anodic oxidation and the application of polymer coatings, which limit the release of alloying element ions.

Surface texturing with a laser beam is an effective method for engraving on the surface of biomaterials. The four laser texturing parameters (scan speed, frequency, fill spacing, and pulse width) having five different values were associated with five different scanning strategies (scan direction), and a total of 25 texturing conditions were tested on the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy surface. The surface roughness and wettability of the textures created with a 20 W nanosecond fiber laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm on the surface of Ti-6Al-7Nb biocompatible alloy were investigated.

Titanium-based metals are used most often in biomedical implant studies because they have good qualities like being biocompatible, not being poisonous, Osseo-integration, high specific properties, wear resistance, etc. The main goal of this work is to improve the wear resistance of Ti-6Al-7Nb biomedical metal by using a mix of Taguchi, ANOVA, and Grey Relational Analysis. The effect of changeable control process factors like applied load, spinning speed, and time on wear reaction measures like wear rate (WR), coefficient of friction (COF), and frictional force.
