Annotation: | Development of biomaterials consisting of bioceramics as matrix enriched with various polymers is a long-standing challenge when preparing synthetic bone substitutes. The combination of both materials can serve several purposes: the inorganic ceramic phase ensures the outstanding bioactivity, osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity, while the polymer component is responsible for the enhanced mechanical reinforcement and improved biodegradation. In view of above, the present project will be oriented towards the production and characterization of bioceramic systems modified with a thermoset biopolymer coating. A great emphasis will be given
on the synthesis of polyol citrate thermosetting polymers and their effective incorporation on the surface of bioceramic matrix. Beside that, a detailed analysis of the effect of polymer addition on the microstructural, phase, mechanical, and in-vitro cellular properties of bioceramic systems will be thoroughly studied using several characterization techniques. It is anticipated, that our results should
expand knowledge in the field of polymer/bioceramic composites and will provide useful directions in their further design for potential
use in biomedicine. |

Annotation: | Recently discovered AlTiVCr high entropy alloy (HEA) exhibits about 70x increase in equilibrium pressure, ~20 kJ/mol H2 decrease in desorption enthalpy (ΔH) relative to the benchmark TiVZrNbHf HEA possessing H/M ratio > 2 with 2.7 wt % hydrogens at 53 bar H2. The AlTiVCr HEA desorption enthalpy ΔH is ~40 kJ/mol and H/M ratio ~1. Since AlTiVCr alloy includes lighter-weight elements relative to earlier studied refractory HEAs, it is envisaged that AlTiVCr can be a potential lightweight metal hydride for future hydrogen storage application if its H/m ratio and hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics can be improved. So far, the addition of Mxene (Ti3C2) as catalyst and nanosizing exhibited a significant influence on the kinetics and hydrogenation capacity of Mg metal hydrides independently. Therefore, in this study, we aim to develop a lightweight metal hydride composite of AlTiVCr HEA by the combination of three concepts of HEA, Mxenes (Ti3C2 Mxene) and nanosizing by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The influence of Mxene and deformation heterogeneities will be investigated and will be tailored for achieving lower ΔH, higher H/M ratio and faster kinetics. |
