| Abstract | The nanocrystalline material of an artificial heart valve sintered from 15 wt.% B$_{4}$C with crystals <10 nm in size uniformly distributed in 85 wt.% carbon with particles about 10 nm in size has exceptionally high chemical stability in human blood plasma. The electrochemical interaction resulting from contact of the valve surface with a potential trace impurity (for example, iron) is experimentally modeled by polarization from an external current source to simulate an extreme corrosion event. The interaction kinetics is studied at 37°C using the method of anodic polarization curves. The elemental composition of interaction products is analyzed by emission spectroscopy using a DFS-13 spectrograph; the composition and thickness of the film layers formed on the valve surface during electrolysis are determined with quantitative Auger electron spectroscopy using a Riber LAS-2000 device. It is established that a nanocrystalline film 350 nm thick forms after 3 h electrolysis on the ceramic surface of the heart valve. The film contains to 94.0 at.% C and to 6.0 at.% N (including to 89.5 at.% C as nanocrystalline graphite and to 4.5 at.% C as nanocrystalline C$_{3}$N$_{4}$, as well as to 6.0 at.% N in C$_{3}$N$_{4}$) and an insignificant amount of sulfur and inclusions of boron and oxygen atoms. It is shown that the film results from the discharge of anions of corresponding α-amino acids (amino acid remains of complex blood protein chains) containing heterocycle rings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
