Item Adverse Local Tissue Reaction due to Acetabular Corrosion in Modular Dual-Mobility Constructs(Elsevier, 2020-12) Sonn, Kevin A.; Meneghini, Michael; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of MedicineDual-mobility (DM) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been reported to reduce dislocation rates, especially in high-risk patients, and are being rapidly adopted in primary and revision THAs. However, this technology introduces additional interfaces that have the potential to result in unforeseen complications. We present a series of 3 patients with mechanically assisted crevice corrosion at the acetabular component–metal dual-mobility liner interface. Consequently, we urge judicious use and close clinical observation of this new, effective technology in THA.Item Corrosion resistance and thermal stability of sputtered Fe44Al34Ti7N15 and Al61Ti11N28 thin films for prospective application in oil and gas industry(Elsevier, 2021-10-01) Maruf, Mahbub Alam; Rizvi, Syed Muhammad Mujtaba; Noor-A-Alam, Mohammed; Shin, Donghyun; Haider, Waseem; Shabib, Ishraq; Mechanical and Energy Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUCFe-and Al-based thin-film metallic glass coatings (Fe44Al34Ti7N15 and Al61Ti11N28) were fabricated using magnetron co-sputtering technique, and their corrosion performances compared against wrought 316L stainless steel. The results of GI-XRD and XPS analyses demonstrated amorphous structure and oxide layer formation on the surface of the fabricated thin films, respectively. The potentiodynamic (PD) polarization test in chloride-thiosulfate (NH4Cl + Na2S2O3) solution revealed lower corrosion current (Icorr) (0.42 ± 0.02 μA/cm2 and 0.086 ± 0.001 μA/cm2 Vs. 0.76 ± 0.05 μA/cm2), lower passivation current (Ipass) (1.45 ± 0.03 μA/cm2 and 1.83 ± 0.07 μA/cm2 Vs. 1.98 ± 0.04 μA/cm2), and approximately six-fold higher breakdown potential (Ebd) for Fe- and Al-based coatings than those of wrought 316L stainless steel. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) of both films showed 4- and 2-fold higher charge transfer resistance (Rct), 7- and 2.5-times higher film resistance (Rf), lower film capacitance values (Qf) (10 ± 2.4 μS-sacm-2, and 5.41 ± 0.8 μS-sacm-2 Vs. 18 ± 2.21 μS-sacm-2), and lower double-layer capacitance values (Qdl) (31.33 ± 4.74 μS-sacm-2, and 15.3 ± 0.48 μS-sacm-2 Vs. 43 ± 4.23 μS-sacm-2), indicating higher corrosion resistance of the thin films. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) scan exhibited that the passive films formed on the Fe- and Al-based coatings were more stable and less prone to pitting corrosion than the wrought 316L stainless steel. The surface morphology of both films via SEM endorsed the CV scan results, showing better resistance to pitting corrosion. Furthermore, the thermal analysis via TGA and DSC revealed the excellent thermal stability of the thin films over a wide temperature range typically observed in oil-gas industries.Item Erratum to ‘Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Due to Acetabular Corrosion in Modular Dual-Mobility Constructs’ [Arthroplasty Today 6 (2020) 976-980](Elsevier, 2022-06-16) Sonn, Kevin A.; Meneghini, R. Michael; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2020.08.002.].Item Towards commercialization of self-healing technology in epoxy coating(2014) Ye, Lujie; Jones, Alan S.; Zhang, Jing; Zhu, Likun; Chen, JieThis work is focused on developing viable self-healing coatings, especially considering the viability of the coating in a commercial context. With this in mind, finding low cost healing agents, with satisfactory healing and mechanical properties as well as adapting the healing system for use in coatings was required. Seven potential healing agents were evaluated and an air-drying triglyceride (linseed oil) was identified as the candidate healing agent. Different encapsulation techniques were evaluated and ureaformaldehyde microcapsules were chosen as the candidate encapsulation technique. Self-healing coatings were fabricated using urea-formaldehyde encapsulated linseed oil. EIS, SEM and TGA technologies were used to evaluate mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, and self-healing performance.
