Abstract

Since 2010, after the approval of Patricia’s grant (SWE 201271/2010-9) our group has worked in partnership with Dr. Ketul, Professor Assistant of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Colorado State University. The project "Crescimento de nanotubos na liga experimental Ti-30Ta para aplicações odontológicas" is being developed in USA. This project is part of the FAPESP Regular Project 2010/10174-8 "Modificação de superfície de ligas de titânio". With the arrival of Dr. Ketul to Brazil will be possible discuss the results obtained until the moment and will be possible to exchange knowledge. (AU)
