The one-dimensional numerical model of the proton conductivity in anhydrous solids is used to obtain the conductivity for different values of proton concentration. The model is constructed as a chain of rods or triangles, depending on the symmetry of molecules, linked by hydrogen bonds. An evolution of such system governed by the Grotthuss mechanism is described by means of the kinetic Monte Carlo method. It is shown that in the case of a system with molecules represented by triangles, a decrease in the conductivity corresponds to a significantly broader range of concentrations than is the case for a system constructed by means of rods. This result may prove to be of a potential importance in the case of possible electronic applications. Moreover, for the discussed systems, a strong dependence on the defect formation energies is demonstrated.

The surface of NiTi shape memory alloys applied as long-term implants has been modified by protective calcium phosphates (CaPs) coatings, with the objective of improving the biocompatibility of this material. The calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite Ca₅(PO₃)OH (HAP) and β-tricalcium phosphate β-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ (β-TCP) were deposited by electrophoretic deposition. In order to improve the adhesion, the deposited samples were vacuum-sintered at wide range of temperature from 500°C to 1000°C for 2 h. The studies revealed that applied sintering conditions did not change the structure of CaPs. The coatings consisted of HAP with hexagonal structure (P63/m) and β-TCP with rhombohedral structure (R-3c). Changes in lattice parameters for CaPs coatings after deposition and sintering were refined by the Rietveld method.

In this work, the anodic formation of self-organized nanotubular oxide layers on Ti13Zr13Nb implant alloy was presented. Anodic oxidation was carried out at room temperature in [1 M] (NH_4)_2SO_4 solution with 1 wt% content of NH_4F. The voltage and time of anodization was 20 V for 120 min, respectively. Under proposed conditions, the best arrangement of nanopores was observed. The physical and chemical properties of the anodized surface of the Ti13Zr13Nb alloy were characterized using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It was found that diameter of nanopores varied from 10 to 32 nm. Mechanism of the fabrication of the unique 3D tube-shaped nanostructure of TiO_2 on the surface of the Ti13Zr13Nb alloy by electrochemical anodization, has been discussed.

In this work, the electrophoretic deposition method has been developed for the fabrication of bioactive alginate coatings on the surface of Ti15Mo implant alloy. Thin ZnO film was deposited cataphoretically as the interlayer prior to anaphoretic deposition of alginate (Alg) which was performed from aqueous solution containing 1 g dm^{- 3} of NaAlg at room temperature. The deposition voltage and time varied in the range 20-50 V and 30-120 min, respectively. The microstructure of Alg coatings was studied by scanning electron microscope, and the surface roughness was analysed using atomic force microscopy. Structure was studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Chemical composition and functional group were examined using energy dispersive spectrometry and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods, respectively. It was found that controlling the deposition conditions it is possible to obtain amorphous Alg coatings of variable thickness and porosity. Mechanism of electrophoretic deposition of bioactive Alg coatings on the Ti15Mo alloy surface was discussed.
