Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Staphylococcus Epidermidis Adhesion on Surface-Treated Open-Cell Ti6al4v Foams(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, Mustafa; Sudağıdan, MertThe effect of alkali and nitric acid surface treatments on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to the surface of 60% porous open-cell Ti6Al4V foam was investigated. The resultant surface roughness of foam particles was determined from the ground flat surfaces of thin foam specimens. Alkali treatment formed a porous, rough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer on Ti6Al4V particles, while nitric acid treatment increased the number of undulations on foam flat and particle surfaces, leading to the development of finer surface topographical features. Both surface treatments increased the nanometric-scale surface roughness of particles and the number of bacteria adhering to the surface, while the adhesion was found to be significantly higher in alkali-treated foam sample. The significant increase in the number of bacterial attachment on the alkali-treated sample was attributed to the formation of a highly porous and nanorough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer.Other Corrigendum To ‘‘the Effect of Surface Treatment on Cap Deposition of Ti6al4v Open Cell Foams in Sbf Solution.’’ [ceram.

The TiN layer microstructure and thickness were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adhesive strength of the TiN coatings on the CoCrMo substrate was studied by a commercially available Scanning Scratch Tester. Static immersion test was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of TiN coating in preventing the dissolution of metal ions into the simulated body fluid (SBF) from the substrate by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The XRD results showed that the PVD coated TiN films exhibited (111) preferred orientation, while the SEM analysis indicated quite uniform and highly dense TiN coated layer (about 3 μm thick) with a columnar growth mode reaching from substrate to coating surface. The scratch test results showed that the adhesive strength between the TiN film and the CoCrMo substrate was adequate. The AAS and ICP-OES results showed that the presence of the TiN coating prevented the release of cobalt and chromium metal ions from the substrate CoCrMo alloy whereas cobalt was preferentially dissolved from the as-polished material. Calcium phosphate precipitation was observed on the surface of the as-polished material, indicating a degree of bioactivity of the as-polished surface which is absent in the TiN coated substrate alloy.Article Citation - WoS: 82Citation - Scopus: 92Metal Ion Release From Nitrogen Ion Implanted Cocrmo Orthopedic Implant Material(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztürk, Orhan; Türkan, Uğur; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminCoCrMo alloys are used as orthopedic implant materials because of their excellent mechanical and corrosion properties. However, when placed in vivo, these alloys release Co, Cr, Mo ions to host tissues, which may give rise to significant health concerns over time. Nitrogen ion implantation can be used to form protective layers on the surface of CoCrMo orthopedic alloys by modifying the near surface layers of these materials. In this study, medical grade CoCrMo alloy (IS0 5832-12) was ion implanted with 60 keV nitrogen ions to a high dose of 1.9 × 10 18 ions/cm 2 at substrate temperatures of 100, 200 and 400 °C. The N implanted layer microstructures, implanted layer phases, and thicknesses were studied by a combination of Bragg-Brentano (θ/2θ) and grazing incidence (Seeman-Bohlin) X-ray diffraction (XRD and GIXRD) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for roughness analysis of N implanted as well as as-polished surfaces. Static immersion tests were performed to investigate metal ion release into simulated body fluid (SBF) by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). XRD and SEM analyses indicated that the N implanted layers were ∼ 150-450 nm thick and composed of the (Co,Cr,Mo) 2+xN nitride phase and a high N concentration Co-based FCC phase, γ N depending on the substrate temperature. ETAAS analysis results showed that in vitro exposure of the N implanted surfaces resulted in higher levels of cobalt ion release into the simulated body fluid compared to the untreated, polished alloy. The higher Co release from the N implanted specimens is attributed to the nature of the implanted layer phases as well as to the rougher surfaces associated with the N implanted specimens compared to the relatively smooth surface of the untreated material. SEM analysis of N implanted and untreated specimens after immersion tests clearly indicated calcium phosphate formation on the as-polished CoCrMo alloy, indicating a degree of bioactivity of the untreated metal surface which is absent in the N implanted specimens.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Biofilm Formation by Staphylococcus Epidermidis on Nitrogen Ion Implanted Cocrmo Alloy Material(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2007) Öztürk, Orhan; Sudağıdan, Mert; Türkan, UğurStaphylococcus epidermidis is the primary cause of medical device-related infections due to its adhesion and biofilm forming abilities on biomaterial surfaces. For this reason development of new materials and surfaces to prevent bacterial adhesion is inevitable. In this study, the adhesion of biofilm forming S. epidermidis strain YT-169a on nitrogen (N) ion implanted as well as on as-polished CoCrMo alloy materials were investigated. A medical grade CoCrMo alloy was ion implanted with 60 keV N ions to a high dose of 1.9 × 10 18 ions/cm2 at substrate temperatures of 200 and 400°C. The near-surface implanted layer crystal structures, implanted layer thicknesses, and roughnesses were characterized by XRD, SEM and AFM. The number of adherent bacteria on the surfaces of N implanted specimens was found to be 191 × 106 CFU/cm2 for the 200°C and 70 × 106 CFU/cm2 for the 400°C specimens compared to the as-polished specimen (3 × 106 CFU/cm2). The adhesion test results showed that S. epidermidis strain YT-169a adhere much more efficiently to the N implanted surfaces than to the as-polished CoCrMo alloy surface. This was attributed mainly to the rougher surfaces associated with the N implanted specimens in comparison with the relatively smooth surface of the as-polished specimen.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13The Effect of Nitric Acid Surface Treatment on Cap Deposition of Ti6al4v Open-Cell Foams in Sbf Solution(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, MustafaThe effect of nitric acid surface treatment on CaP deposition of an open-cell Ti6Al4V foam (60% porous and 300–500 m in pore size), prepared by means of the space holder method using 94 and 66 μm average particle size powders, was investigated in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution up to 14 days. Although, nitric acid surface treatment did not change the foam flat surface roughness values significantly, it increased surface area difference greatly by introducing nano scale undulations on the surface. The increased surface area difference was found to be more pronounced in smaller particle size foam samples. A continuous relatively thin CaP coating layer formed after 5 and 14 days of SBF immersion in nitric acid surface treated small and larger average particle size foam specimens, respectively. Whereas, the cells of untreated foam specimen were observed to be filled with CaP precipitates and a continuous CaP layer development was found after 14 days of SBF immersion. These results were also confirmed with the grazing incidence XRD and FTIR analysis of SBF immersed specimens.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16The Effect of Surface Treatment on Cap Deposition of Ti6al4v Open Cell Foams in Sbf Solution(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, MustafaThe effects of alkali and nitric acid surface treatment and acid etching on the CaP deposition of an open cell Ti6Al4V foam (60% porous and 300–500 μm in pore size) developed for biomedical applications were investigated in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for 14-day. The surface roughness of the foam specimens ground flat surfaces was measured in nano-metric scale before and after SBF immersion using an atomic force microscope (AFM). A significant increase in the surface roughness of alkali treated foam specimen after SBF immersion indicated a smaller crystal size CaP deposition, which was also confirmed by the AFM micrographs. The microscopic evaluation clearly showed that alkali treatment and nitric acid treatment induced a continuous, uniform CaP deposition on the cell wall surfaces of the foam (interior of cells). While in untreated foam specimen the cells are filled with CaP precipitates and acid etching did not produce a continuous coating layer on particles interior of the cells. The coating layer thickness was ∼3 μm in alkali treated foam specimens after 14-day of SBF immersion, while nitric acid treatment induced relatively thinner coating layer, 0.6 μm.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 33Processing and Compression Testing of Ti6al4v Foams for Biomedical Applications(Springer Verlag, 2009) Dizlek, Mustafa Eren; Güden, Mustafa; Türkan, Uğur; Taşdemirci, AlperOpen cell Ti6Al4V foams (60% porosity) were prepared at sintering temperatures between 1,200 and 1,350 °C using ammonium bicarbonate particles (315–500 μm) as space holder. The resulting cellular structure of the foams showed bimodal pore size distribution, comprising macropores (300–500 μm) and micropores (1–30 μm). Compression tests have shown that increasing sintering temperature increased the elastic modulus, yield and compressive strength, and failure strain of foams. The improvements in the mechanical properties of foams prepared using smaller size Ti64 powder with bimodal particle distribution were attributed to the increased number of sintering necks and contact areas between the particles. Finally, the strength of foams sintered at 1,350 °C was found to satisfy the strength requirement for cancellous bone replacement.
