Among various classes of biomaterials, the majority of non‐centrosymmetric crystalline
materials exhibit piezoelectric properties, ie, the accumulation of charge in response to …

Cementless fixation for orthopedic implants aims to obviate challenges associated with bone
cement, providing long-term stability of bone prostheses after implantation. The application …

The macro architecture and micro surface topological morphology of implants play essential
roles in bone tissue regeneration. 3D printing technology provides enormous advantages for …

Bioengineered porous bone tissue materials based on additive manufacturing technology
have gradually become a research hotspot in bone tissue-related bioengineering. Research …

Post-implantation failure associated with insufficient host tissue integration at the bone–
implant interface and aseptic loosening is a major concern in orthopaedics as well as in …

The acetabular cups used in total hip arthroplasty are mostly made of dense metal materials
with an elastic moduli much higher than that of human bone. This leads to stress shielding …

The natural bone structure exhibits a radial gradient with dense cortical bone externally and
porous cancellous bone internally. However, previous studies proposing scaffold designs …

The aluminum alloy AA5083 is a technologically important structural alloy as it is lightweight,
with outstanding weldability and formability, moderate corrosion resistance and strength …

The effects of a bimodal microstructure and porosity on the elastic modulus and yield
strength of a Ti-13Ta-12Sn alloy foam was analyzed. In order to obtain a bimodal …

Conventional mould casting technique for cell foam production demonstrated trapped air
bubbles in the cell foam which are undesirable stress concentration points in the matrix. This …
