Optimization of mechanical property,antibacterial property and corrosion resistance of Ti-Cu alloy for dental implant

Ti-Cu alloys with different Cu contents (3, 5 and 7 wt%) were fabricated and studied as novel antibacterial biomaterials for dental application. The Ti-Cu alloys were annealing treated at different temperatures (740 °C, 830 °C and 910 °C) in order to obtain three typical microstructures, α-Ti + Ti₂Cu, α-Ti + transformed β-Ti, and transformed β-Ti. Mechanical, antibacterial and biocorrosion properties of Ti-Cu alloys with different microstructures were well analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile test, electrochemical test and antibacterial test. The results indicated that the Ti-Cu alloys with microstructure of α-Ti + Ti₂Cu showed the best ductility compared with other Ti-Cu alloys with microstructures of α-Ti + transformed β-Ti and complete transformed β-Ti, and meanwhile, increase of the Cu content significantly contributed to the decreased ductility due to the increasing amount of Ti₂Cu, which brought both solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening. Finally, the Ti-5Cu alloy with microstructure of α-Ti + Ti₂Cu exhibited excellent ductility, antibacterial property and corrosion resistance, providing a great potential in clinical application for dental implants.     

Luminescent Eu(III) hybrid sensors for in situ copper detection

In this work we used the sol-gel technique to develop luminescent Eu(III) transparent films deposited on glass slides to build for sensor devices capable of monitoring transition metal ions in aqueous solutions. The films were obtained from a bis(trialkoxysilyl) organic precursor synthesized from the amide of the 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in the presence or absence of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant as templating agent and triethylethoxysilane (TEOS) as crosslinker. These sensor devices were used to perform in situ quenching experiments by Cu(II), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) ions. The results indicate that the templated films allow the detection and quantification of these metals down to ppb levels by means of the values of the Stern-Volmer constants. In particular, it was shown that Cu(II) acts as an extremely efficient quencher (K_SV = 3.5 × 10⁵ M⁻¹) when compared with the results obtained for the other metals, opening the possibility to use these devices as potential Cu(II) sensors for actual applications in aqueous media.     

Designing of MIP-based QCM sensor for the determination of Cu(II) ions in solution

A novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor with a high selectivity and sensitivity has been developed for the determination of Cu(II) ions, based on the modification of Cu(II) ion-imprinted polymer (Cu(II)-IIP) film onto a quartz crystal. The performance of the developed MIP-QCM sensor was evaluated and the results indicated that a sensitive MIP-QCM sensor could be fabricated. The obtained MIP-QCM sensor presents high-selectivity monitoring of Cu(II) ions, better reproducibility, shorter response time (6 min), wider linear range (0.001–50 μM) and lower detection limit (8 × 10⁻⁴ μM). The practical analysis of the MIP-QCM sensor confirms the feasibility of Cu(II) determination in wastewater.

Fabrication and characterization of copper-diamond particles

The electroless copper deposition on both pure and Cr-coated diamond particles was studied to produce copper/diamond composites for electronic packaging materials. The particles were characterized and the mechanism of product formation was investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The particle coating thickness was measured using optical micrographs. The diamond particles got uniform coating thickness of copper crystals layers. This method provided an excellent base for the fabrication of metal-based composites using cheap equipments, and was less time consuming, nature friendly and economical compared with other methods of diamond surface metallization.     

制备条件对铜铬催化剂酸性质的影响

为了研究制备条件对铜铬催化剂酸性质的影响,建立了铜铬催化剂酸性质的检测方法,并采用共沉淀方法研制了不同制备条件的铜铬催化剂,通过SEM 对晶貌的分析得出,催化剂的酸性质与催化剂晶貌有关。通过Thanable假说和Seiyama假说建立了铜铬二元氧化物模型,分析得出,处于无定形状态的铜铬催化剂,其酸中心主要由一元氧化物氧化铜和氧化铬本身带来的,而处于结晶态的铜铬催化剂,其酸中心除了由一元氧化物本身带来的之外,还由于氧化铜和氧化铬混合的不均匀引起的B酸中心的增加。从而表明,铜铬二元氧化物的晶粒越小,晶粒越均匀,催化剂的酸性质越弱,B酸比例越小,相反则越强。
