Title: Advanced Applications of Anodization in current scenario
Abstract:
In recent days, the anodization process is useful in both mechanical and biomedical applications. Even though these both may be different fields, the mixed applications of both may involve in bio implants are of significant importance such as corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The metal implants are the best choice for the long-term replacement of hard tissue, such as hip and knee joints, because of their extra ordinary mechanical properties and other significances. Aluminium / Titanium and its alloys, due to their organized oxide layer by anodization, which protects the surface from corrosion and prevents ion release in this case which are widely accepted as biocompatible metal implants and for other industrial applications. However the problems those are connected to poor bio-compatibility, excessive rigidity and implant failures which are leading the researchers to investigate for smart bio-materials to rectify these difficulties. This work explains anodic oxidation and the manner by which nanotubes/ rods / wires form on the surface of the metals. It then assesses this topical research to indicate how changes in anodizing conditions which are influencing the characteristics of the materials such as tube diameters, nanotube-layer thickness etc and their applications. Usually metals are having biomechanical properties and other significant characteristics which are being very suitable for implanting process. However, these important metals characteristics which are also very flexible to carry out the process. The advancements of the materials which are using with time and low success rates with metals (Stainless steel and gold), these materials are now replaced by newer ones. Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have become the metals of choice for dental implants. However, prosthetic components are still using for its effectiveness and solidarity from these alloys. This work is dedicated to cover the applications and recent developments of bio implant which are leading to the human society in an executive way.
