Ceramics are materials of choice for hip joint implants because of their excellent
biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Wear of the bearing couple (femoral head and …

The development of functional, biological solutions to repair or replace damaged tissues
and organs is the goal of tissue engineering. This involves an interplay of cells, scaffolds …

In the present study, applicability of ceramic composites as ceramic-on-ceramic hip
prostheses is explored. Hence, ceramic composites containing zirconium oxide, silicon …

The surface morphologies and microstructures of Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)
femoral heads were analyzed following in vitro tests aiming to simulate in vivo degradation …

Lifetime of orthopedic implants is a key issue for patient life and health issues all over the
world. Metals used for implants were specifically submitted to friction/fretting corrosion …

The tribological behavior between orthopedic implants and cortical bone is important but
usually neglected. Poly (ether‐ether‐ketone)(PEEK) is a promising material for orthopedic …

Recent studies on zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) evidenced that in vivo aged implants
display a much higher monoclinic zirconia content than expected from in vitro simulations by …

The structural and optical features of zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) due to the assorted
range of Eu3+ substitutions are demonstrated. The characterization studies affirm the pivotal …

Background Y-TZP zirconia heads were recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
in 2001 and zirconia alone was no longer used in orthopedics. Tunnel furnace sintering was …

В статье приведены результаты исследования алюмоциркониевой керамики с
различным соотношением оксидов Al2O3 и 3Y-TZP (тетрагональный …
