An in vitro evaluation of mesoporous titania implants

Year: 2011

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Method: Mesoporous and non-porous titania thin films were prepared via an evaporation induced self-assembly process.[1] The implants were evaluated using three types of simulated body fluids (SBF); one containing dissolved salts that simulated the composition of human plasma, one with salts and albumin and one with salts and alendronate (a wellknown osteoporosis drug).[2] The adsorption of ions, albumin and alendronate were monitored using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and the hydroxyapatite formation was studied as a function of time using SEM, TEM, FTIR and XRD.
