Resumo
Os recentes avanços científicos permitiram um aumento significativo na qualidade de vida e por consequência, na longevidade. Como consequência disso, a população de idosos aumentou consideravelmente e com isso, doenças relacionadas à idade como osteoporose levam o governo a ter que gastar consideráveis quantias em próteses ortopédicas. Há também uma grande demanda devido aos acidentes de trânsito. Os materiais metálicos mais usados na manufatura de próteses são divididos em três grupos: aços inoxidáveis, ligas a base de Co e ligas a base de Ti. Dentre estes três grupos, os biomateriais mais utilizados são aqueles a base de Ti, pois apresentam excelente biocompatibilidade e elevada resistência à corrosão. A liga de Ti mais utilizada para aplicações biológicas é a liga Ti-6Al-4V, porém alguns estudos associam o V a efeitos citotóxicos e reações adversas em tecidos, enquanto o Al tem sido associado com desordens neurológicas. Para sanar este problema, novas ligas de Ti que apresentam em sua composição elementos como Nb, Ta, Zr, Fe e Mo estão sendo pesquisadas e o desenvolvimento de novas ligas de Ti contendo Nb para aplicação ortopédica é um tema de grande importância social e tecnológica, pois o Nb é um elemento não tóxico e não alergênico, possui elevada biocompatibilidade e tem o Brasil como seu maior produtor, daí a importância de desenvolvimento de ciência e tecnologia utilizando tal material. A presença de elementos intersticiais (O, C, N e H) altera de significativamente as propriedades mecânicas da liga, principalmente suas propriedades elásticas, causando endurecimento ou enfraquecimento da liga. As medidas de espectroscopia mecânica são uma ferramenta poderosa para o estudo da interação destes elementos substitucionais e intersticiais com os elementos que compõem a liga. Este trabalho apresenta o efeito...
Recent scientific advances have led to a significant increase in life's quality and consequently, longevity. As a result, the elderly population has increased considerably and thus age-related disease such as osteoporosis lead the government to spend considerable sums of money with orthopedic prostheses. There is also a great demand for orthopedic prostheses due to accidents. The metallic materials commonly used in the manufacture of prostheses are divided into three groups: stainless steel, Co-based alloys and Ti-based alloys. Among these three groups, the most widely used as a biomaterial are the Ti-based alloys, since they have excellent biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance. The most used Ti-based alloy for biological applications is the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, but some studies associate the V to the cytotoxic effects and adverse reactions in tissues, while Al has been associated with neurological disorders. To solve this problem, new Ti-based alloys that have in their composition elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr, Fe and Mo are being researched. The development of new Ti-based alloys containing Nb for orthopedic application is a topic of great social and technological relevance, as this element is a non-toxic, non allergenic, has high biocompatibility and has Brazil as its biggest producer, hence the importance of development of science and technology using this material. The presence of interstitial elements (O, C, N and H) changes significantly the mechanical properties of the alloy, particularly its elastic properties, causing hardening or softening of the alloy. Mechanical spectroscopy measurements represent a powerful tool for studying the interaction of substitutional and interstitial elements with the metal matrix. This work presents the effect of interstitial oxygen in solid solution in some mechanical properties and biocompatibility of two alloys of the Ti-Nb system...
