Porous yttriastabilized zirconia (YSZ), in a composite with NiO, is widely used as a cermet
electrode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). Given …

Bone-cement interface has been investigated under selected loading conditions, utilising
experimental techniques such as in situ mechanical testing and digital image correlation …

Injectable polymers and composites have been widely explored for biomedical applications
due to their potential use in minimally invasive surgeries and advantages in filling irregular …

Implant heating has been advocated as a means to alter the porosity of the bone
cement/implant interface; however, little is known about the influence on cement properties …

Purpose The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the differences and, eventually, of the
advantages or disadvantages of manual formulations with respect to industrial ones …

The behaviour of microdamage in bone is related to its microstructural features and thus has
an important role in tissue structural properties. However, it is not known how cracks behave …

Cemented total hip replacement has been performed worldwide to treat patients with
osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis, with aseptic loosening as its primary reason for revision. It …

This chapter discusses the use of carbon nanotube (CNT) based nanocomposites for
biomedical applications, particularly in the area of orthopaedic bone cement used in joint …
