[en] The implant Osseointegration rate depends, among other factors, on the surface´s topography and chemical composition, as in the interactions between the implant surface and cells. In this work the surface free energy for three surface treatments was calculated through contact angle measurements. For the anodic oxidized samples, a heat treatment was carried out to evaluate the influence of this process on the reduction of fluorine content. The aim of this work was study the influence of surface morphology and chemical composition on the alloy´s wettability behavior. The contact angle measurement was analyzed by the sessile drop method. The nanotubes morphology was evaluated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The surface composition was analyzed by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The non-photoinduced nanotubes surface free energy was higher than the polished or acid etched samples. The heat treatment lowered the F/Ti ratio in the nanotube and decreased the contact angle, increasing the interaction with the surface.

La tasa de osteointegración de los implantes, entre otros factores, depende de la topografía y de la composición química de la superficie, así como de las interacciones entre la superficie del implante y las células. Con el objetivo de evaluar esta interacción, el presente trabajo evalúa la energía superficial de tres acabados superficiales a partir de la medición del ángulo de contacto. En cuanto al acabado superficial de nanotubos se ha llevado a cabo un tratamiento térmico para evaluar la influencia de este proceso en la reducción del contenido de flúor. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la influencia de la morfología y composición de la superficie en la mojabilidad de la aleación. La medición del ángulo de contacto se realizó empleando un goniómetro óptico. La microscopía electrónica de barrido de emisión de campo (FESEM) ha permitido realizar un estudio del diámetro y espesor de los nanotubos. El análisis de espectrometría de dispersión de energía de rayos X (EDS) se empleó para analizar la composición superficial. Como resultados, destacar que la energía superficial de los nanotubos no fotoinducidos es superior a las superficies desbastadas o grabadas con ácido. Por lo tanto, el tratamiento térmico permite reducir la ratio F/Ti en los nanotubos, reduciendo así, el ángulo de contacto e incrementando la energía superficial de los nanotubos con lo que la interacción de superficies se mejora.Journal

[en] The corrosion product of archaeological iron objects is supposed to be removed because it causes re-corrosion. So far it is removed by scapel and sand blaster but they depend on the skill and experience of a conservator and the glass-dust of the sand blaster is harmful to humans. Therefore this study applies a laser cleaning system which is used in various industrial cleaning processes, to remove corrosion product from archaeological iron objects. In addition, this work studies the alternation of corrosion product after laser irradiation, which evaluates the reliability of the laser cleaning system. Optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRD, Raman have been used to observe and analyse the surface of the objects. The results show the capacity of laser cleaning some corrosion product, but blackening appears with increasing pulses and laser energy, and some corrosion products, goethite and hematite, are partially altered to magnetite. These problems, blackening and alternation of corrosion product, should be solved by further studies which find the optimal laser irradiation condition and use a wetting agent.

[en] Domain boundaries in a solid can be wetted by the layer of a new phase of the host material. The formation of such a layer is considered for the case where the defect moves under an external force, and where the order parameter of the wetting film is a conserved quantity. (author)

[en] The Argonne research center (USA) has developed a 'super-gel' compound, a polymer close to those used in baby's diapers, which can reach a 90% efficiency in the radioactive decontamination of porous materials, like bricks or concrete. The contaminated materials are sprayed with a mixture of polymer gel and wetting agent with nano-particulates in suspension. Under the action of the wetting agent, radioactivity migrates from the pores to the gel and is trapped by the nano-particulates. The drying and recycling of the gel allows to reduce the volume of radioactive wastes. Short paper. (J.S.)
