Antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and thermomechanical stability of Ti₄₀Zr₁₀Cu₃₆Pd₁₄ bulk metallic glass.

ABSTRACT: This paper envisions Ti₄₀Zr₁₀Cu₃₆Pd₁₄ bulk metallic glass as an oral implant material and evaluates its antibacterial performance in the inhabitation of oral biofilm formation in comparison with the gold standard Ti-6Al-4V implant material. Metallic glasses are superior in terms of biocorrosion and have a reduced stress shielding effect compared with their crystalline counterparts. Dynamic mechanical and thermal expansion analyses on Ti₄₀Zr₁₀Cu₃₆Pd₁₄ show that these materials can be thermomechanically shaped into implants. Static water contact angle measurement on samples' surface shows an increased surface wettability on the Ti-6Al-4V surface after 48 ​h incubation in the water while the contact angle
