The 15 research papers are from the Next Generation Biomaterials and Surface Properties of Biomaterials symposia at the October 2012 Materials Science and Technology Conference in Pittsburgh. The topics include characterizing next-generation nickel-titanium rotary endodontic instruments, the mechanical behavior in compression and flexure of bioactive glass (13-93) scaffolds prepared by robotic deposition, the sol-gel preparation of silica-based nano-fibers for biomedical applications, the quantitative evaluation of the hydrophilic properties of polarized hydroxyapatite, and controlling the biological functionalization of surfaces by engineered peptides.
