Pure titanium is widely used as a material in dental implants. However, it possesses inferior mechanical strength. This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of acid treated multi-directionally forged (MDF) pure titanium in vivo. We verified the temporal changes until osseointegration in beagle dogs. Using two types of experimental materials (conventional pure titanium or MDF pure titanium), new bone formation was assessed using morphological examinations, and the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) value was evaluated at each time point (14, 30, and 90 days after the operation). As such, new bone formation was observed around the acid-etched MDF group, in which the BIC value was highest, followed by that in the acid-etched pure titanium group. MDF pure titanium implants showed early promotion of new bone formation compared to conventional titanium implants. The new acid-treated MDF made of pure titanium could be applied to humans in the future to prove its practicality.

The photo-Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and thus is applied intensively for clearing out membrane fouling. However, the pollutant removal efficiency is greatly limited by the redox cycle rate of Fe/Fe and the rapid recombination rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a sulfonated polysulfone composite membrane was designed and prepared by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles into a sulfonated polysulfone membrane and sequentially forming β-FeOOHs on the membrane surface.

Introduction: Green tea is a medicinal beverage extracted from the plant Camellia sinensis. Antioxidants that exist naturally can be extracted as pure compounds from their parent materials for nutraceutical and medicinal applications. The present study aims to assess the antioxidant activity of Zinc oxide-titanium dioxide nano-composites (ZnO-TiO2 NCs) containing green tea extract.

This study explores a sustainable method for synthesizing quinazoline derivatives through visible light-driven photocatalysis using curcumin-sensitized titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles. A one-pot, three-component reaction involving aldehydes, urea/thiourea, and dimedone was utilized to efficiently produce quinazoline compounds. The photocatalytic performance of curcumin-sensitized TiO (Cur-TiO) was compared to pure TiO (P-TiO), with Cur-TiO showing significantly enhanced activity.

Tooth loss replacement using dental implants is becoming more frequent. Traditional dental implant materials such as commercially pure titanium and titanium aluminum vanadium alloys have well-proven mechanical and biological properties. New titanium alloying metals such as niobium provide improved mechanical properties such as lower elastic modulus while displaying comparable or even better biocompatibility.

Since their discovery, titanium-based MXenes (TiCT) have attracted significant attention. Several studies have presented versatile, cost-effective, and scalable approaches for fabricating TiCT-based functional components. However, most previous studies only allowed the realization of 2D patterns or required diverse additives to produce 3D architectures.
