Few studies have described aquatic organisms interacting with manufactured nanoparticles. One key factor in determining these materials potential toxicity is the extent to which these particles accumulate in tissues. This may be most important for aquatic organisms as they contact large quantities of water through the…

An improvement in the mechanical properties of a biomedical Ni-free Co-Cr-Mo alloy under as-cast condition has been examined by means of tensile tests and microstructure observations. The solubility of N in Co-Cr-Mo alloys increases with increasing Cr content from 29 to 34 mass%. This results in a significant improvem…
