Abstract:This study addresses the aspect of submicron-sized / nanocolloidal wear comparing stainless steel (316L) and titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) for their toxic and inflammatory potentials. Wear was generated in a tribometer using the disc-on-pin-method with pin and disc submerged in a sterile cell culture medium setting. The wear medium was separated according to Stokes' law into a fraction smaller 200 nm (nanocolloids) and a fraction greater 200 nm (particles). Vitality and inflammatory potential was measured in a cell… Show more
