Advanced engineering applications necessitate developing a new class of surface coatings
that protect the surface components in these applications while also meeting the conflicting …

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are innovative materials whose composition and/or
microstructure gradually vary in space according to a designed law. As a result, also the …

In order to increase the bone bioactivity of the metallic implants, hydroxyapatite (HA) is often
coated on their surface so that a real bond with the surrounding bone tissue can be formed …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on AZ31 alloy substrate was prepared by a cathodic
electrodeposition method. The as-deposited specimen was then post-treated with hot alkali …

Surface coating on biomaterial implants remained a challenging task to researchers
because of its simultaneous demand for various properties. Post-surgery problems like …

One of the most frequent complications of total hip replacement (THR) is aseptic loosening
of femoral component which is primarily due to changes of post-operative stress distribution …

The similarity of mechanical properties of Mg and human bones makes Mg and Mg-alloys a
potential material for biodegradable implants. However, Mg and Mg alloys corrode too …

In order to eliminate micro-cracks in the monolithic hydroxyapatite (HA) and composite
hydroxyapatite/carbon nanotube (HA/CNT) coatings, novel HA/TiO 2/CNT nanocomposite …

Many metals and its alloys that have been used in biomedical applications which carry the
most applied load from the natural bone to the artificial joint. Consequently, this leads to …

The development of biomaterials for the repair or replacement of hard tissue is a challenging
and a promising area of research. Engineering cell and tissue behaviour at biomaterial …
