In this study, silicon sludge generated in semiconductor manufacturing process is recycled and applied as materials for pigments and paints. In detail, metallic impurities are removed from silicon sludge to obtain plate-like silicon sludge powder (SW-sludge), which is then coated with titanium dioxide via sol-gel method (TCS-sludge). SW-sludge and TCS-sludge are dispersed in hydrophilic transparent varnish and sprayed onto glass substrates to observe the possibility for the application as materials for pigments and paints. Notably, the applicability of TCS-sludge-based paint is improved compared to SW-sludge-based paint after the titanium dioxide coating. Moreover, the color of TCS-sludge-based paint turns into white. Accordingly, it is confirmed that the applicability and hydrophilicity are improved by the presence of outer titanium dioxide layer. In this regard, it is expected that the recycled TCS-sludge may be a future material for the application as pigments and paints.

The bonding strength between titanium and ceramic were analyzed according to the bonding agent and the coating methods of Au and TiN respectively. The bonding strength was measured through the 3 point bending test. Consequently, the bonding strength of the special bonding agent after the TiN coated (SPTB) group was $72.20({\pm}5.25)MPa$ which was the strongest one among groups. The bonding strength of the special bonding agent treated only (SPB) group was $67.66({\pm}12.10)MPa$, the special bonding agent after the Au coating SPGB group was $46.95({\pm}12.48)MPa$ and the SP group was $43.80({\pm}5.12)MPa$. Taking these results into account, the bonding strength of the SPB group shows the same as it of the SPTB group, however, it is stronger than SP group. And the TiN coated SPTB group shows the stronger bonding strength than the Au coated SPGB group.

The surface of titanium (Ti) dental implants was modified by applying a zinc (Zn)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO₂) coating. Initially, the Ti surfaces were etched with NaOH, followed by a hydrolysis co-condensation using tetrabutyl titanate (TBT, Ti(OC₄H₉)₄) and zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O), with ammonia water (NH₃·H₂O) acting as a hydroxide anion source. The morphology and chemical composition of the Zn-doped TiO₂-coated Ti plates were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Synthesis temperatures were carefully adjusted to produce anatase Zn-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles with a bipyramidal structure and approximate sizes of 100 nm. Wettability tests and cell viability assays demonstrated the biomedical potential of these modified surfaces, which showed high biocompatibility with a survival rate of over 95 % (p < 0.05) and improved wettability. Corrosion resistance tests using potentiodynamic polarization reveal that Zn-TiO₂-treated samples with an anatase crystal structure exhibited a lower corrosion current density and more noble corrosion potential compared to samples coated with a rutile structure. This method offers a scalable approach that could be adapted by the biomaterial industry to improve the functionality and longevity of various biomedical implants.

Titanium is applied in various industries due to its valuable properties and abundant reserves. Generally, if a highly uniform oxide structure and a high-density oxide film is formed on the surface through anodization treatment, the utility value such as color appearance and corrosion inhibition efficiency is further increased. The objective of this study was to determine improvement of water-repellent property by controlling titanium oxide parameters such as pore size and inter-pore distance to improve corrosion resistance. Oxide film structures of different shapes were prepared by controlling the anodization processing time and voltage. These oxide structures were then analyzed using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM). Afterwards, a Self-Assembled Monolayer (SAM) coating was performed for the oxide structure. The contact angle was measured to determine the relationship between the shape of the oxide film and the water-repellency. The smaller the solid fraction of the surface, the higher the water-repellent effect. The surface with excellent hydrophobic properties showed improved corrosion resistance. Such water-repellent surface has various applications. It is not only useful for corrosion prevention, but also useful for self-cleaning. In addition, a hydrophobic titanium may open up a new world of biomaterials to remove bacteria from the surface.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to compare the effect of different surface treatments and luting agent types on the shear bond strength of two ceramics to commercially pure titanium (Cp Ti). MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 160 Cp Ti specimens were divided into 4 subgroups (n = 40) according to surface treatments received (control, 50 ㎛ airborne-particle abrasion, 110 ㎛ airborne-particle abrasion, and tribochemical coating). The cementation surfaces of titanium and all-ceramic specimens were treated with a universal primer. Two cubic all-ceramic discs (lithium disilicate ceramic (LDC) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic (ZLC)) were cemented to titanium using two types of resin-based luting agents: self-cure and dual-cure (n = 10). After cementation, all specimens were subjected to 5000 cycles of thermal aging. A shear bond strength (SBS) test was conducted, and the failure mode was determined using a scanning electron microscope. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA, and the Tukey-HSD test was used for post hoc comparisons (P < .05). RESULTS. Significant differences were found among the groups based on surface treatment, resin-based luting agent, and ceramic type (P < .05). Among the surface treatments, 50 ㎛ air-abrasion showed the highest SBS, while the control group showed the lowest. SBS was higher for dual-cure resin-based luting agent than self-cure luting agent. ZLC showed better SBS values than LDC. CONCLUSION. The cementation of ZLC with dual-cure resin-based luting agent showed better bonding effectiveness to commercially pure titanium treated with 50 ㎛ airborne-particle abrasion.

$TiO_2-SnO_2$ nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3~5 nm were synthesized by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and tin chloride to depress the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions were prepared by reacting the $TiO_2-SnO_2$ nanoparticles with 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) by the sol-gel method. The hard coating films with high refractive index were obtained by curing thermally at $120^{\circ}C$ after spin-coating the coating solutions on the polycarbonate (PC) sheets. The coating films from $TiO_2-SnO_2$ nanoparticles showed an improved pencil hardness of 3H compared to 2H of the coating films from $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Besides, the refractive index of the coating films from $TiO_2-SnO_2$ nanoparticles enhanced from 1.543 to 1.623 at 633 nm as the Sn/Ti molar ratio increased from 0 to 0.5.

Purpose : The purpose of this pilot experiment was to evaluate early bone response in two types of coated implants using the rabbit tibia model. Materials and Methods : Screw type titanium implants manufactured with a calcium metaphosphate (CMP) coating and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating were placed in the tibiae of 3 New Zealand White rabbits. The bone responses at 2 weeks after insertion were evaluated and compared by histomorphometry. Results : There was no significant difference in bone-to-implant contact between the groups (P>.05). However, some qualitative differences on histologic views were found. Conclusions : CMP-coating is suggested to be the preferred candidate for fast osseointegration over HAcoating.

A new nano-particle deposition system (NPDS) was developed for a ceramic and metal coating process. Nano- and micro-sized powders were sprayed through a supersonic nozzle at room temperature and low vacuum conditions to create ceramic and metal thin films on metal and polymer substrates without thermal damage. Ceramic titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) powder was deposited on polyethylene terephthalate substrates and metal tin (Sn) powder was deposited on SUS substrates. Deposition images were obtained and the resulting chemical composition was measured using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The test results demonstrated that the new NPDS provides a noble coating method for ceramic and metal materials.

This work reports a facile and effective antibacterial coating for oxide substrates. As a coating material, a random copolymer, abbreviated as poly(TMSMA-r-PEGMA), was synthesized by radical polymerization of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA). Polymeric self-assembled monolayers of poly(TMSMA-r-PEGMA) were formed on various inorganic oxide substrates, including silicon oxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, and glass, via the simple dip-coating process. The polymer-coated substrates were characterized by ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The bacterial adhesion on the polymer-coated substrates was completely suppressed compared to that on the uncoated substrates.
