    Tensile Adhesion of Type I Collagen To Titanium Alloy and Calcium Phosphate Coated Surfaces With Different Roughness Values
    (IOS Press, 2002) Özerdem, Barış
    The purpose of total joint arthroplasty is to reduce pain and restore function. Its success depends on the formation of a new bone that stabilizes the prosthesis. The proposed solution for this important problem is to have bio-coated implant surfaces which are more conductive to bone growth. Additionally, collagen has long been used as a matrix for medical applications, because of its biocompatibility and adaptability. In this study, a test method for measuring the tensile adhesion strength of collagen to titanium alloy and calcium phosphate coated surfaces with different roughness values was developed, in order to evaluate how well the collagen adheres to the metallic and bio-coated surfaces. A precision motion system was used to stretch gels that were adherent to the plate surfaces. The tests were done in DMEM solution. The adhesive strength between the collagen gel and plate was significantly higher for calcium phosphate coated surfaces. Adhesive strength was highest in the sample with the highest roughness value.

    Microhardness and Fracture Toughness of Dental Materials by Indentation Method
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2005) Şakar-Deliormanlı, Aylin; Şakar Deliormanlı, Aylin Müyesser; Güden, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa
    The main objective of this study was to measure the fracture toughness of the human teeth enamel using the microindentation technique and to compare the results calculated from the equations developed for Palmqvist and radial-median cracks. Vickers microhardness measurements of dental ceramic (alumina) and human teeth were performed using indentation fracture method. The fracture toughness of enamel was calculated using different equations reported in the literature. Vickers microhardness of the sintered alumina specimen (98.8% theoretical density) was measured to be 14.92 GPa under 9.8N indentation load. Three equations based on the radial-median cracks were found to be applicable for the fracture toughness determination of the enamel. Results show that indentation fracture method is adequate to measure microhardness and fracture toughness of dental materials. However the calculation of fracture toughness depended on the nature of the cracks and also on the location of the indentation. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the crack profile and to select the appropriate equation for accurate fracture toughness values.

    Metals Foams for Biomedical Applications: Processing and Mechanical Properties
    (Springer, 2004) Güden, Mustafa; Çelik, Emrah; Çetiner, Sinan; Aydın, Alptekin
    Optimized structures found in nature can be sometimes imitated in engineering structures. The recent interest in functionally graded metallic materials makes bone structures interesting because bones are naturally functionally graded1. The cellular structure of foam metals (Fig.1) is very similar to that of the cancellous bone; therefore, these metals can be considered as potential candidates for future implant applications if porosity level, size and shape, strength and biocompatibility aspects satisfy the design specifications of implants. Foam metals based on biocompatible metallic materials (e.g. Ti and Ti-6A1-4V) are expected to provide better interaction with bone. This is mainly due to higher degree of bone growth into porous surfaces and higher degree of body fluid transport through three-dimensional interconnected array of pores2 (open cell foam), leading to better interlocking between implant and bone and hence reducing or avoiding the well-known implant losening. Furthermore, the elastic modulus of foam metals can be easily tailored with porosity level to match that of natural bone, leading to a better performance by avoiding the high degree of elastic mismatch which currently exists between conventional solid metallic implants and bone.

    Effects of Compaction Pressure and Particle Shape on the Porosity and Compression Mechanical Properties of Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compacts for Hard Tissue Implantation
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2007) Güden, Mustafa; Çelik, Emrah; Hızal, Alpay; Altındiş, Mustafa; Çetiner, Sinan
    Sintered Ti6Al4V powder compacts potentially to be used in implant applications were prepared using commercially available spherical and angular powders (100-200 mum) within the porosity range of 34-54%. Cylindrical green powder compacts were cold compacted at various pressures and then sintered at 1200 degrees C for 2 h. The final percent porosity and mean pore sizes were determined as functions of the applied compaction pressure and powder type. The mechanical properties were investigated through compression testing. Results have shown that yield strength of the powder compacts of 40-42% porosity was comparable with that of human cortical bone. As compared with previously investigated Ti powder compacts, Ti6Al4V powder compacts showed higher strength at similar porosity range. Microscopic observations on the failed compact samples revealed that failure occurred primarily by the separation of interparticle bond regions in the planes 45 degrees to the loading axis. Effects of compaction pressure and particle shape on the porosity and compression mechanical properties of sintered Ti6Al4V powder compacts for hard tissue implantation.
