    Electrochemical Evaluation of Strontium-Doped Micro-Arc Oxidation Surfaces on Titanium
    (Mdpi, 2025) Alves, Alexandra C.; Duraes, Carolina; Toptan, Fatih
    Titanium (Ti) alloys are widely used in biomedical applications but face challenges like poor biological activity and corrosion at modular interfaces. Strontium (Sr)-doped micro-arc oxidation (MAO) surfaces are proposed to improve biocompatibility and tribocorrosion resistance. This study examines the electrochemical behaviour of Ti surfaces treated with 0.0013 M and 0.13 M Sr-doped MAO via open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarisation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a basic physiological solution at 37 degrees C. The results indicate that higher Sr concentrations led to lower passivation current densities (more than two times lower than at the lowest Sr concentration) and reduced barrier layer capacitance (more than one and a half times lower than at the lowest Sr concentration), suggesting improved corrosion resistance for Sr-enriched MAO treatments on Ti implants.

    Advancing Titanium-Based Surfaces Via Micro-Arc Oxidation With Solid Substance Incorporation: a Systematic Review
    (Elsevier, 2024) Ogur, Ezgi; Alves, Alexandra C.; Toptan, Fatih
    Despite possessing numerous superior properties, titanium, and its alloys exhibit inadequacies in terms of tribocorrosion, bioactivity, and antimicrobial characteristics. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in research focusing on micro-arc oxidation (MAO) surface treatments to enhance these properties. In the traditional MAO approach, researchers commonly investigate the introduction of additional functionalities to the surface through ion doping. However, over the past decade, studies have indicated that the inclusion of solid substances, either as substitutes for or in conjunction with ion doping, can provide further advantages in terms of multifunctionality. Therefore, this review comprehensively and systematically examines the characteristics of solid substances used during MAO, their incorporation mechanisms, and their influence on resulting biological and degradation behaviors, as well as properties such as photocatalytic activity, magnetic features, hightemperature oxidation resistance, electrical insulation, and thermal shock resistance. This review showed that the integration of solid substances during MAO represents a promising avenue for achieving multifunctional surface enhancements in titanium and its alloys. This review highlights the diverse range of properties and behaviors influenced by these solid substances, offering insights for future research and applications in the field of surface engineering and biomaterials science.

    Influence of Calcium Acetate Concentration in Electrolyte on Tribocorrosion Behaviour of Mao Treated Titanium
    (MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021) Sousa, Luis; Mendes, Ana Rita; Pinto, Ana Maria Pires; Toptan, Fatih; Alves, Alexandra Cruz
    Ti-based materials are widely used for dental and orthopaedic implant applications due to their adequate mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility. However, these materials are biologically inert and display poor wear resistance. In one of the most studied processes that aims to overcome these drawbacks, Ti surfaces are often covered by anodic oxide films with the incorporation of bioactive agents such as Ca and P. Although there are several works on the tribocorrosion behaviour of MAO-treated Ti surfaces, the influence of electrolyte composition on the corrosion kinetics under sliding is yet to be fully understood. In the present work, anodic oxide films were produced on cp-Ti surfaces with different calcium acetate concentrations in the electrolyte. Tribocorrosion behaviour was investigated by reciprocating sliding tests performed in 8 g/L NaCl solution at body temperature, under potentiostatic conditions. The results showed that higher concentrations of calcium acetate had a detrimental effect on tribocorrosion kinetics, however, they resulted in less mechanical damage due to alterations in the topography and structure of the MAO layer.
