With the support of the Kastamonu University Technology Transfer Office (TTO), the invention titled “Production of TiNbVMoCr High Entropy Alloy as a Biomaterial Using Powder Metallurgy Method” has been officially registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
The research team, which completed the patent process, is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Akkaş from the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. Other inventors include Lecturer Metin Çetin and Ph.D. student Gülseren Sakarya. The invention presents an innovative approach to biomaterial production.
The registered patent aims to use high entropy alloys (HEAs) to produce biomaterials. These alloys—composed of titanium, niobium, vanadium, molybdenum, and chromium—offer promising potential in medical implants and prosthetics due to their biocompatibility and durability. This alloy stands out as a significant alternative for biomedical applications.
“Our University is Strengthening in Research and Development”
Rector Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Topal emphasized the University's commitment to academic research and innovation in his statement regarding patent registration. He said:
“Our University continues to contribute to our country's goals in technology and innovation by increasing its scientific productivity. I congratulate our academic staff on receiving this patent and wish them continued success. I would also like to thank the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office for their cooperation and support throughout the process.”
