Thermally Induced Self-assembly of Gold Nanoparticles Sputter-deposited in Ionic Liquids on Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite Surfaces
Authors: Okazaki Ken-ichi , Kiyama Tomonori , Suzuki Toshimasa , Kuwabata Susumu , Torimoto Tsukasa 
Published: March 2009

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles sputter-deposited in ionic liquids were densely immobilized on the surface of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) by spreading the ionic liquid containing Au nanoparticles on HOPG and then heating. The density of immobilized Au particles was greatly dependent on the kind of ionic liquid used, and their size was controlled by the heating temperature. The resulting nanoparticle films were stable and electrochemically active for oxygen reduction.
A Cluster Model DFT Study for Oxygen Reduction Reactions
Authors: Kobayashi Hisayoshi , Miura Toshiko , Takeuchi Nobuyuki , Yamabe Tokio 
Published: March 2009

Abstract
The equilibrium (reversible) potential for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt electrodes was evaluated using small cluster models and DFT calculations. For the five elementary reactions, O2→OOH, OOH→O+H2O, OOH→HOOH, O→OH, and OH→H2O, the estimated equilibrium potentials were 0.41, 1.99, −0.35, 1.36, and −0.01 V. Comparing to the standard electrode potential for O2 reduction, 1.23 V, the OOH and H2O formations contribute to the overpotential, and HOOH formation does not prevail.

Composite Materials for Implant Applications in the Human Body: Characterization and Testing
Authors: Jamison RD , Gilbertson LN 
Published: March 2009

Description
The bulk of the papers in STP 1178 are concerned with orthopaedic applications. Despite the optimism about the potential of orthopaedic applications of composites, the emphasis of many of these papers is caution. Orthopaedic prosthetic devices are nonredundant systems that are not easily replaced. Failure of a single component in a system or a material could lead to loss of function of the device and require a revision operation. Consequently, many of the methods presented relate to the long-term viability of the composite materials and devices.

Metallurgical Properties of Unalloyed Titanium Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plates
Authors: Disegi JA , Cesarone DM 
Published: March 2009

The AO/ASIF Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plate (LC-DCP®) is fabricated from implant quality unalloyed titanium material that conforms to ASTM F67 standard [1]. Broad and narrow 4.5 mm plates and small 3.5 mm plates are used with unalloyed titanium bone screws for fracture fixation of the femur, tibia, and forearm. The LC-DCP concept of biological plating is described elsewhere.
Metallurgical properties must be closely controlled to provide a satisfactory level of functional performance. Microstructure, composition, processing, and testing guidelines are important for bone plate applications. Optimum microstructure features include fine grain size, absence of nonmetallic inclusions, and low volume fraction of TiFe intermetallic phase. The influence of iron on the corrosion resistance of unalloyed titanium is well documented.
Special metallurgical processing ensures an enhanced combination of strength and ductility. Bone plate raw material is evaluated according to a standardized bend test method. Four point bend testing data is compared for titanium LC-DCP and 316L stainless steel DCP implants.
