Now nanowire coating for effective, inexpensive bone implants and stents If you are one of those who will soon require either a hip replacement, dental reconstruction or vascular stenting, here is ‘nanotechnology’ to your rescue. Yes, this is yet another introduction of nanotechnology in the field of medical sciences. Scientists have designed an effective nanowire coating for creating more effective surfaces for such medical replacements or reconstructions. They have created this coating on biocompatible titanium surface (find more facts on). What is of your interest is its creating process being cost-effective. And, for the manufacturers, the process of designing it is simpler in comparison to the existing methods. For developing the titanium oxide-based ceramic nanowires, researchers used an alkali and heat, used for effectively coating the surface of a titanium medical device. By simply varying the time, temperature and the concentration of alkali in the reaction, the length, height, the pore openings and their volumes can be controlled within the nanowire scaffolds – that’s amazing! Importantly, adding on to its inexpensiveness and simpler designing, the new process is also extremely sustainable, as claimed by Z. Ryan Tian, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. What is required is just a rinse of the device in reusable water, following the heating process. So, next time you require any such medical replacement and reconstruction, resort to the new ‘inexpensive’ nanowire-coating magic.
