The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

Recently, there has been an increasing trend in researches focusing on improving the
performance of the biomedical implants. The clinicians used metallic implants to treat bone …

Magnesium alloys are one of the most promising lightweight structural materials. However,
the poor corrosion and wear resistance restrain their further application. As a kind of surface …

Direct-writing fabrication techniques, such as robocasting, have been ignored up to date for
the production of scaffolds from 45S5 Bioglass®, probably due to difficulties in the …

Bioactive glasses (BG s) based on 50SiO2‐45CaO‐5P2O5 system doped with 1, 5, and 10
mol% CuO or Ag2O were separately synthesized using quick alkali sol‐gel method …

Present commercial titanium alloy implants have an elastic modulus higher than 100 GPa,
whereas that of the cortical bone is much smaller (17–28 GPa). This elastic modulus …
