Fresh data on life sciences are presented in the report 'Effect of heat-treatment atmosphere on the bond strength of apatite layer on Ti substrate.' "The purpose of this study was to investigate the bond strength of apatite layer on titanium (Ti) substrate coated by biomimetic method and to improve the bonding of apatite layer to Ti substrate by optimizing the alkali heat-treatment process. Ti plates pre-treated with an alkali solution of 10 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were heat-treated at 600 degrees C for 1h at different atmospheres: in air and in vacuum," scientists writing in the journal Dental Materials report (see also Life Sciences).
"A dense apatite layer ...
