Prof. Christoph Kleber and Prof. Costantin von See from the Danube Private University together with Prof. Achim W. Hassel from Johannes Kepler University Linz have published a research paper: “Electrochemical Noise Measurements on Titanium regarding Implant Applications” in the highly acclaimed magazine Physica Status Solidi (a).
This work explores the suitability of electrochemical noise measurements to gather information on the corrosion behaviour of titanium implants. Rod shaped titanium samples have been immersed in different types of electrolytes and the generated electrochemical noise was evaluated. The electrolytes include simulated body fluids, namely phosphate buffered saline and artificial saliva. Different data evaluation methods have been explored. The evaluation of the time domain data and further statistical methods showed promising results. Noise resistance values ranging from 0.09 MΩ, for 3.5 wt% H2SO4 solution up to 0.45 MΩ for simulated body fluids have been recorded. It was possible to determine the dominating corrosion modes on the sample surface and reach results in alignment with expectations and established knowledge on corrosion mechanisms.
This paper marks the second joint publication this year and demonstrates the high level of material research conducted between the Private Danube University and Johannes Kepler University Linz.
