From the development of eco-friendly detergents and leather processing agents to the creation of advanced biomaterials and biomedical implants, the versatility of this enzyme knows no bounds. ...
Together with other recently launched biomaterial innovations including PLA-PEG copolymers, filaments for 3D printing and surface modification technologies, our RESOMER portfolio is now the world’s largest and most differentiated portfolio of biomaterials for use across orthopedic, vascular and wound closure applications,” said Dr. Jean-Luc Herbeaux, ...
Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. ...
Mixing techniques used to reduce porosity in bone cement demonstrate large improvements in fatigue behaviour in test specimens, but do not appear to reduce the rate of loosening of implants in vivo. We examined data showing the effect of notches on fatigue strength and found, surprisingly, that notches with low stress-concentration factors (Kt Keywords: mixing technique, fatigue ...
The nanofibrous matrix has the potential to be applied to various cardiovascular implants as a selfassembled coating, thereby providing a native endothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking environment. ...
The paper investigates the use of diamond coated cutting tools to prepare bone for prosthetic implants and the implications of their use on the machining characteristics of biological materials.Keywords: diamond tools, medical materials, compact bone, diamond coatings, microtools, micromachining, cutting tools, prosthetic implants, machining characteristics, ...
Implant materials composed of hard and soft phases (composite materials) have shown much promise for total bone replacement. Interfacial interactions between the components in these composite biomaterials affect the overall mechanical response. Here, the role of interfacial interactions on the load deformation behaviour of soft phase (polymer) have been analysed ...
