The sturdy demands in orthopaedics are not yet fulfilled, in both bone replacement and joint
substitution and also in other repairs of bone defects. Metals are used for bone repair and …

Magnesium matrix composites have potential uses in the fields of aerospace, automobiles,
and orthopedic applications due to their low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, and …

In the present study, mixed calcium magnesium oxide (CaMgO 2) nanoflakes were
synthesized using an ultrasound-assisted co-precipitation method. The physicochemical …

Magnesium alloys have great potential for medical applications. However, their rapid
degradation has limited their development. Hydrogen-free DLC coatings were deposited on …

In order to improve the corrosion resistance and bioactivity of biodegradable Mg alloy
substrate, novel Zn-HA/Zn double-layer coatings with different HA/Zn ratios in weight were …

The future of biomaterial design will rely on development of bioresorbable implant materials
that completely and safely degrade in vivo after the tissues grow, without generating harmful …

To overcome the restricted degradation, poor antiacterial and osteoindctive problems of
magnesium and its alloys, this study presented the spinning coating of an antimicrobial …

The exploration of temperature-dependent nucleation is required to appraise the extent of
kinetic and thermodynamic barriers associated with the origin of subatomic size nuclei …

To slow down the corrosion rate and increase the bioactivity of magnesium alloys,
biodegradable hydroxyapatite/magnesium (HA/Mg) composite coating was deposited onto …

This chapter is an introduction to nanocomposite materials and its classifications with
emphasis on orthopedic application. It covers different types of matrix nanocomposites …
