Nano-graphite was chosen as an additive to improve the tribological properties of titanium complex grease. The influence of the concentration of nano-graphite (N-G) with three average diameter sizes (2 μm, 3.5 μm, and 6 μm) on the tribological properties of titanium complex grease was researched. It was determined that the optimum concentration of the three types of N-G is 0.8 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.2 wt%. Futhermore, the titanium complex grease modified with nano-graphite with a concentration of 0.8 wt% is the optimum grease. Subsequently, the influence of load on the tribological properties of grease containing the optimum concentration (N-G) was studied. Compared to the base grease, the optimum grease showed a lower average friction coefficient, smaller diameter and better tribological performance under the same experimental load. The influence of dispersion homogeneity of N-G on the tribological properties of titanium complex grease was also investigated. The base titanium complex grease and titanium complex grease modified with nano-graphite were synthesized in the laboratory and their tribological properties were evaluated the four-ball test. The worn surface of their wears scar was observed using SEM and the states of the typical elements were analyzed XPS. It was uncovered that nano-graphite can improve the tribological properties of titanium complex grease due to the physical friction reduction by nano-graphite due to its interlayer slide and the supplemental effect of the tribochemical reaction anti-wear film composed of TiO and FeC.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.
Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

We systematically evaluated the DNA adsorption and desorption efficiencies of several nanoparticles. Among them, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) NPs, and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibited strong DNA-binding capacities under mild conditions. However, phosphate-mediated DNA displacement efficiencies varied considerably, with only TiO₂ NPs showing consistently superior performance.

A methylaluminoxane-activated titanium complex catalyzed the selective trimerization of 1-octene in bulk or benzene, exhibiting a trimer selectivity that exceeded 80%. The selective trimerization of 1-octene catalyzed by this complex catalyst with a monoanionic phosphonium-bisphenolate ligand demonstrated catalytic activity comparable to that of previously reported complexes with monoanionic tridentate ligands.

Adoptive cell transfers (ACTs) can interact specifically with inflamed tissues, but lack a mechanism for transport through viscous biological barriers such as mucus when administered locally. Further, maintaining cell function is challenging due to the loss of cellular phenotypes in diseased microenvironments. In this work, the use of magnetically controlled helical microrobots is examined to transport macrophages through physiologically representative mucus and maintain functional phenotypes through drug elution for improved cell delivery.

The design of multidentate ligands incorporating both hard and soft donors is of fundamental interest and importance in coordination chemistry. Here, we report a novel class of tetradentate dianionic bisphenolate-bisphosphine (PO) ligands featuring hybrid hard (phenolate) and soft (phosphine) donor atoms. Titanium(IV) and titanium(III) chloride complexes of the PO ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, solution magnetic susceptibility measurements (Evans method) and EPR spectroscopy, revealing distorted octahedral geometries and providing insight into coordination modes and spin states.
