Abstract
Dealloying technique has been used for centuries as an attractive method for producing porous surfaces by removing one or more undesirable elements from the surface. Since early 2000s, the technique has been further developed for understanding the dealloying mechanism and tailoring it to produce chemically homogeneous materials with nanoporous (np) morphology. Dealloying has found numerous applications such as sensors, catalysts, as well as in the biomedical field, which is fairly recent and has attracted great attention on this topic. This review investigates the dealloying technique for preparing nanoporous materials and nanoporous surfaces by using different modification routes on various types of Ti-based alloys for biomedical implant application. There has been significant growth in studying dealloying of crystalline, amorphous, shape memory, and composites-based Ti alloys. This review aims to summarise the findings from literature and discuss the scope of this technique and challenges involved for future aspects.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
