Development of a functional relationship between surface morphology parameters and resulting wettability for laser textured Ti-6Al-4V

open access: yesApplied Surface Science Advances
Femtosecond laser texturing offers a versatile approach to modify the surface properties of Ti-6Al-4V, enabling the fabrication of hydrophobic surfaces with tailored topographies.

Tribological behaviour of Ti6Al4V modified by surface treatments

open access: yesJournal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 1996
At present, there are no good materials that can substitute ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), therefore the only way forward is to find a material for femoral heads with high wettability and hardness able to minimize the wear phenomena between metal and UHMWPE. In this work, the effects of surface treatments to improve the tribological

Osteoid Osteoma Mimicking Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury: Diagnosis and Review of Treatment

open access: yesCase Reports in Surgery, 2012
We report the case of osteoid osteoma (OO) with ulnar styloid involvement. A review of the literature has been made with the aim of defining the special behaviour of OO when it is near the articular surface.

Utilisation of intensive foraging zones by female Australian fur seals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Within a heterogeneous environment, animals must efficiently locate and utilise foraging patches. One way animals can achieve this is by increasing residency times in areas where foraging success is highest (area-restricted search).

CHLORINE DIOXIDE TREATMENT OF SISAL FIBRE: SURFACE LIGNIN AND ITS INFLUENCES ON FIBRE SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS AND INTERFACIAL BEHAVIOUR OF SISAL FIBRE/PHENOLIC RESIN COMPOSITES

open access: yesBioResources, 2010
This paper describes an investigation of the influences of chlorine dioxide treatment on fibre surface lignin. The fibre surface characteristics and the interfacial behaviour of the sisal fibre/phenolic resin composites were also studied by SEM, AFM, and
