Abstract
In this paper, porous Ti14Nb4Sn alloys were fabricated using a space holder sintering method, resulting in a porosity of ∼70%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed a combination of both macropore and micropore structures. The fabricated titanium alloy scaffolds exhibited a similar structure to that of natural bone, which is expected to improve bone implant longevity. Bacterial cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 were employed for the in vitro test.

Other | The objectives of this conference were to provide an international forum to review recent progress in both the fundamental sciences and applications of PM Ti and to discuss future directions. The conference attracted 127 delegates from 15 countries. A total of 78 selected papers were presented. In addition, a 90 min Panel Discussion, chaired by Dr David Whittaker, reviewed the current status of the PM Ti business and the major impediments to future developments, with active participation of the audience. The conference fully achieved its objectives and turned out to be the largest international gathering dedicated to PM Ti. |
