Abstract
In this study, bioglasses in SiO2-CaO-MgO system were synthesized through sol-gel method and the effect of silica and magnesia contents on in-vitro bioactivity of the bioglasses were investigated. XRD patterns showed an amorphous structure after heat treatment at 600°C for 2 h for all glasses and also indicated that after immersion in SBF, apatite particles precipitated on glass surfaces and the rate of apatite formation decreased with increasing Mg/Ca ratio. On the other hand, the apatite formation rate was enhanced with increasing the silica content. Furthermore, magnesia contents increased the compressive strength of the samples. According to SEM, higher Mg/Ca ratio led to increase in...

Effect of Surface Treatment on Bioactivity of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Asgari, Sirous (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research Ti-6Al-4V samples were surface treated with acid, alkali and sandblasting treatment. Alkali treatment parameter was the NaOH concentration. The results of roughness measurement demonstrate that increase in NaOH Concentration results in rougher surface. Sandblasting produces rough surfaces in the scale of 1 to 10 micrometers. Acid treatment reduces initial roughness and the resultant roughness is in the under micrometer scale. After surface treatment, samples were soaked in simulated body fluid for invitro assessment. Results of this analysis indicate that sample with sandblasting+chemical treatment has the best invitro bioactivity. Chemical+sandblasting treated sample shows...

Abstract
The formation of macroporous bioactive hydroxyapatite(HA) coatings using polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) particles were studied. The porous HA coatings were prepared onto a pure titanium substrate by electrophoretic deposition(EPD) at 120 V for 1.5 min using ethanol suspensions mixture of HA (500 nm in size) and PTFE (1-3 μm in size) particles. Subsequently, the composite coatings obtained by EPD were heated at 900 °C for 60 min to disintegrate the organic PTFE particles and sinter the inorganic HA particles. The calcinations of the PTFE led to the formation of porosity in the HA coating. These results demonstrate a new method for creating porous HA coatings on titanium. © 2006 Elsevier B.V....

Abstract
TiO2 nanostructures with different morphologies (spherical, tube, leaf-like and flower-like particles) were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. Polycaprolactone (PCL)/10 vol.% TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by solvent casting methods. In vitro bioactivity of the nanocomposite films was examined by immersion in the simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 28 days. It was found that the morphology of titania nanostructures significantly influence the in vitro bioactivity of PCL/TiO 2 nanocomposites. This observation was attributed to the amount of anatase phase and the specific surface area of the TiO2 nanostructures, which provide high surface exposure to SBF

Abstract
Local mean-field models (MFMs) describe regional brain activities by some connected differential equations. In an overall view, constituting variables of these differential equations can be divided to very fast, fast and slow variables. In this article we propose a method that can be used to determine role of a slow variable in behavior of MFMs. Very fast variables can be adiabatically removed from the equations. Isoclines of fast and slow variables and their corresponding vector field can provide valuable information about model behavior and role of the slow variable in it. The vector field of our interested MFM that is an enhanced MFM designed specially for general anesthesia, is a 3D...
