Summary: The study investigated the influence of RF magnetron sputter deposition conditions on nanocomposite CaP coatings and developed a phenomenological model to explain the formation of RF magnetron sputter-deposited HA coatings. The results showed that as film thickness and temperature gradient increased, the crystallization of HA phase occurred leading to the formation of fiber texture in the films, indicating the importance of deposition conditions on coating properties.

Summary: This study investigates the deposition of antibacterial coatings on titanium alloy implant surfaces using RF magnetron sputtering. The research shows that the properties of the deposited coatings are influenced by the elemental composition and structure of the RF magnetron targets, as well as the substrate temperature during deposition and post-deposition heat treatment. Sintering the targets results in structural changes, while the use of nanostructured titanium improves the scratch resistance of the coatings.

Summary: Bone tissue engineering uses different methods and materials to find suitable scaffolds for bone regeneration. This study aimed to enhance bone formation, osteogenic differentiation, and in vitro biocompatibility by modifying poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds with hydroxyapatite (HA) and collagen type I (COL). The results showed that coating the scaffolds with HA and COL can boost the proliferation and differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) in a synergistic manner. The tricomponent 3D-printed scaffold is considered promising for bone tissue regeneration and rebuilding.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of surface-modified gold nanoparticles with different amino acids on the formation of hydroxyapatite. The results showed that aspartic acid modification of the gold nanoparticles promoted the crystallization of hydroxyapatite with a smaller crystallite size and a higher Ca/P ratio, which is beneficial for bone substitute applications.

Summary: Surface modification of biomaterials affects the surface reactivity of implantable materials and induces the formation of apatite-like layers. This study investigates the bioactivity and surface reactivity of modified biomaterials (calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite [CDHA] on amino acid-capped AuNPs [AA-AuNPs]) by immersing them in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results show that AA-AuNPs, capped with charged and polar uncharged amino acids, are capable of inducing biomimetic hydroxyapatite formation. The presence of hydroxyapatite peaks in XRD patterns confirms the formation of hydroxyapatite after immersion in SBF. Furthermore, longer immersion time leads to nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite, as indicated by changes in crystal structure. The surface modification of AA-AuNPs significantly affects the orientation of hydroxyapatite crystals and the presence of charged amino acids contributes to nucleation and growth, while polar uncharged amino acids only contribute to growth. The study highlights the bioactivity of CDHA-modulated AA-AuNPs in hydroxyapatite formation for bone tissue regeneration.

Summary: Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has significant advantages as a precursor to biologically formed apatite and is utilized as a carrier for biologically active substances in bone regeneration. However, research on drug delivery systems with OCP is still in its pioneering stage, and comprehensive data is lacking to fully understand the benefits it can bring. Further studies are needed to explore the potential of OCP in drug delivery systems for bone tissue engineering.

Summary: The application of sustainable engineering methodologies is becoming increasingly necessary due to the rising number of environmental hazards caused by global warming. Traditional cement, a common additive for soil improvement, has negative impacts on the environment, creating a need for alternative sustainable solutions. This study focuses on investigating the effectiveness of xanthan gum biopolymer as a sustainable solution for enhancing soil properties. The results demonstrate that the addition of xanthan gum improves soil strength and plasticity, with increased concentration and curing time leading to increased compressive strength. The biopolymer-treated soil also exhibits higher strength and cohesion compared to untreated soil, especially during wetting and drying cycles.
