We developed a new type of calcium phosphate cement for clinical use in endodontics as a root canal sealer or pulp cupping agent. The solid phase of the sealer is composed of 70% of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) and 30% of titanic oxide (TiO2), and the liquid phase is 37% citric acid, 5% tannic acid and 58% distilled water. TiO2 was added to control setting time and handling of the cement. We used commercially available calcium phosphate root canal sealer as a control. ISO standards specify that new endodontic products should be examined thoroughly before clinical use. It is important to carry out in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo histocompatibility tests. We first did in vitro test of setting time and root canal sealing ability of the cement. We found that this developed calcium phosphate cement had an appropriate setting time and excellent sealing ability as a root canal sealer, and concluded that it was suitable for clinical use as a root canal sealer.

A new method for the determination of free La3+ and La organic complexes in solution using a nanometer-sized titanium dioxide as solid-phase extractant and fluorination-assisted electrothermal vaporization (FETV)-ICP-AES as sensitive detector has been developed. The effect of pH on the adsorption characteristics of La3+ and La complexes of citric acid, 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA), and humic acid on nanometer-sized TiO2 was investigated and optimized. On the basis of the difference in volatility between fluoride of analyte (lanthanum) and the fluoride of matrix (titanium), an in-situ removal of the adsorbent matrix (TiO2) from a graphite furnace was realized. Therefore, the free La3+ and adsorbed La complexes on nanometer-sized titanium dioxide could be determined respectively by FETV-ICP-AES without any other chemical pretreatment. The proposed method was applied for the determination of free ion (La3+) and La complexes in synthetic solutions and soil extracts with satisfactory results.

Nanocrystalline TiO2 powders of the rutile polymorph, synthesized by a sol-gel method, were treated with water solutions containing, respectively, formic, acetic, and citric acid and glycine in order to study the adsorption properties of these organic species. The samples were characterized by FTIR, Raman, powder XRD, and TEM. It was found that HCOOH, CH3COOH and HOC(COOH)(CH2COOH)2--but not NH2CH2COOH--adsorbed onto TiO2. The adsorption of HCOOH, CH3COOH and NH2CH2COOH onto the (110) surface of rutile was also studied by quantum-chemical periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The organic molecules were from the computations found to adsorb strongly to the surfaces in a bridge-coordinating mode, where the two oxygens of the deprotonated carboxylic acid bind to two surface titanium ions. Surface relaxation is found to influence adsorption geometries and energies significantly. The results from DFT calculations and ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations of formic acid adsorption onto TiO2 are compared and match well with the experimental IR measurements, supporting the bridge-binding geometry of carboxylic-acid adsorption on the TiO2 nanoparticles.

The present study is targeted on solar photocatalytic removal of metal ions from wastewater. Photoreductive deposition and dark adsorption of metal ions Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II), using solar energy irradiated TiO2, has been investigated. Citric acid has been used as a hole scavenger. Modeling of metal species has been performed and speciation is used as a tool for discussing the photodeposition trends. Ninety-seven percent reductive deposition was obtained for copper. The deposition values of other metals were significantly low [nickel (36.4%), zinc (22.2%) and lead (41.4%)], indicating that the photocatalytic treatment process, using solar energy, was more suitable for wastewater containing Cu(II) ions. In absence of citric acid, the decreasing order deposition was Cu(II)>Ni(II)>Pb(II)>Zn(II), which proves the theoretical thermodynamic predictions about the metals.

Titanium and its alloys are extensively used in load-bearing metallic devices. They are bioinert material and, therefore, get encapsulated after implantation into the living body by a fibrous tissue that isolates them from the surrounding tissues. Here we report modification of titanium surface using bioactive tricalcium phosphates (TCP) and nanoscale TiO2 to enhance cell-materials interaction. We have introduced bioactivity in Ti using laser-assisted coating of TCP and by anodization to grow surface TiO2 at room temperature using a mixed aqueous solution of sodium fluoride, citric acid and sulfuric acid as electrolyte. TCP coating showed a columnar Ti grains at the substrate side of the coating and transitioned to an equiaxed grains at the outside. Coating hardness increased from 882 +/- 67 to 1029 +/- 112 Hv as the volume fraction of TCP increased in the coating. For TiO2 nanotubes, microscopic analysis showed tubes of 50 nm in diameter with wall thickness of 15 nm and typical length between 200 nm and 1 micron based on anodization times. Effects of TCP and nanoscale TiO2 coating on bone cell-material interaction were examined by culturing osteoprecursor cells (OPC1) on coated surfaces. Antibacterial activity analysis using metallic Ag via electrodeposition showed over 99% antibacterial activity against the growth of colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Nanometric-sized titanium oxide (TiO2) powders were synthesized through two emulsions method. In which two solutions of reverse emulsion, one containing Ti4+ chelated with citric acid/cellulose aqueous droplets and the other aqueous ammonia droplets, with the same water/oil (w/o) ratio are mixed together to form a slurry of titanium citrate precursor. Then the precursors were recovered and calcined to form TiO2 at various temperatures. The powders prepared from volume ratio of w/o at 1/100 had a relatively uniform and spherical with less aggregation. When the volume ratio of w/o was increased, the particle size had more aggregation and bigger. The particle sizes of powders obtained from volume ratio of 1/100 were estimated to be 6-8 nm. Finally, photocatalytic experiments for water splitting and producing hydrogen was examined in methanol solution by utilizing 65 mg nanometric-sized Pt (0.6 wt%)/TiO2 powder, and about 70 micromol hydrogen was produced in 6 h.

In this study, biodegradable films were prepared by using corn starch, PVA, nano-sized poly(acrylamide-co-methyl methacrylate) (PAAm-co-MMA), nano-sized TiO2(P-25)/PAAm-co-MMA composite, and additives which are harmless to the human body, that is, glycerol (GL) and citric acid (CA). Nano-sized PAAm-co-MMA was synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization. Also, nano-sized TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composites were synthesized by wet milling for 48 h. The morphology and crystallinty of nano-sized PAAm-co-MMA and TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composite was observed by the SEM and XRD. The physical properties such as tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (%E), degree of swelling (DS), and solubility (S) of biodegradable films were investigated. The photocatalytic degradability of starch/PVA/nano-sized TiO2/PAAm-co-MMA composite blended films was evaluated using methylene blue as photodegradation target.

The photocatalytic degradation of the commercial dye Lanaset Sun Yellow 180 was studied in the presence and absence of the different additives used in the dye's formulation. The experiments were performed with Degussa P25 as received and doped with Fe (Fe-TiO2) and a new catalyst synthesized by our research group (ECT-1023). The best efficiency was achieved with Fe-TiO2. With this catalyst, the formation of a photoactive complex was observed between the dye and Fe atoms of the catalyst surface that accelerated degradation. FTIR studies revealed that the complex was formed by interaction between the dye's carbonyl groups and the atoms of the metal. In mixtures of the dye containing citric acid or acetate, degradation was notably inhibited with the catalysts Fe-TiO2 and ECT-1023 because of the formation of carboxylates on their surface. This inhibitory effect was neutralized when all the additives were present in the solution. Toxicity analyses indicated that intermediates were not toxic. Thus, the photocatalytic methods seem to be optimal for the decolourization of wastewaters containing this dye.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized by solution combustion method using glycine and citric acid as fuels. The prepared Ag NPs were characterized by optical absorption spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy Dispersion Spectroscopic (EDS) techniques. Surface plasmon resonance peak was appeared at 410 and 418 nm for glycine (GAg) and citric acid (CAg) assisted silver nanoparticles respectively. The silver NPs are fcc in crystal structure. The calculated average particle size from XRD was found around 29 nm for GAg and 41 nm for CAg. HRTEM image shows that the silver nanoparticles have strain and fivefold symmetry formed by twinning in the crystal structure. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles with Ag NPs were also elucidated and were found that the Ag NPs enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2.

Phosphopeptide enrichment is essential for large-scale phosphoprotein profiling. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely used in phosphopeptide enrichment, but it is limited in the isolation of multiphosphorylated peptides due to their strong binding. In this study, we found that citric acid greatly affects the binding of mono- and multiphosphopeptides with TiO2, which can be used for stepwise phosphopeptide separation coupled with mass spectrum (MS) identification. We first loaded approximately 1 mg of peptide mixture of HeLa cell digests onto TiO2 beads in highly concentrated citric acid (1 M). Then the flow-through fraction was diluted to ensure low concentration of citric acid (50 mM) and followed by loading onto another aliquot of TiO2 beads. The two eluted fractions were subjected to nanoLC-MS/MS analysis. We identified 1,500 phosphorylated peptides, of which 69% were multiphosphorylated after the first enrichment. After the second enrichment, 2,167 phosphopeptides, of which 92% were monophosphorylated, were identified. In total, we successfully identified 3,136 unique phosphopeptides containing 3,973 phosphosites utilizing this strategy. Finally, more than 37% of the total phosphopeptides and 2.6-fold more of the multiphosphorylated peptides were identified as compared to the frequently used DHB/TiO2 enrichment strategy. Combining SCX with CATSET, we identified 14,783 phosphopeptides and 15,713 phosphosites, of which 3,678 were unrecorded in PhosphoSitePlus database. This two-step separation procedure for sequentially enriching multi- and monophosphorylated peptides by using citric acid is advantageous in multiphosphorylated peptide separation, as well as for more comprehensive phosphoprotein profiling.
