(n.) A mineral usually of a reddish brown color, and brilliant metallic adamantine luster, occurring in tetragonal crystals. In composition it is titanium dioxide, like octahedrite and brookite.
Example Sentences:
(1) Anatase and rutile are titanium dioxides (TiO2) with different crystal lattices.
(2) The hydrogen bonding ability of the surfaces of these rutiles were compared with inert rutile and quartz.
(3) Only two, both synthetic rutiles, were found to be active.
(4) These results suggested that perovskite and rutile existed at the interface between hydroxyapatite and titanium after plasma-spraying and made hydroxyapatite to bond tightly to the titanium.
(5) Biological studies of two titanium dioxide polymorphs, rutile and anatase, have produced conflicting results.
(6) The binding properties of the active rutile have been found to be consistent with those properties associated with biologically active quartz.
(7) Rutile samples containing trace amounts of nickel or chromium had an activity similar to that of pure rutile.
(8) An average of 613 million particles, of exogenous origin, per gram of dry lung tissue were found, the major classes of particles being silica, talc, aluminum silicates, and rutile.

(10) The surface properties of rutile are the determinants of its activity.
(11) The other more boxlike crystals (coesite, anatase, and rutile) displayed little change in these parameters.
(12) The crystals studied were quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, coesite, anatase, and rutile.
(13) The evidence suggests that both anatase and rutile are "nuisance" dusts.
(14) Rutile and anatase induced similar effects, and both had a very low biological activity in comparison to alpha-quartz.
(15) The biological reactivity of two crystalline forms of titanium dioxide, rutile and anatase, has been compared in in vitro and in vivo assays.
(16) Titanium dioxide-polymethacrylate composites were prepared with triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), 1,6-bis(methacryloxy-2-ethoxycarbonylamino)-2,4,4-trimeth ylexane (UDMA) and rutile structure titanium dioxide.

(18) Here we describe an XAS study of divalent cobalt (Co(II)) complexes sorbed on three different solids, gamma-Al2O3, rutile (TiO2) and kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4).
(19) Because natural and synthetic rutiles possess different surface properties, they display different activities.
(20) Pure rutile or anatase preparations show only a weak chemiluminescent response.
