The design of novel functional biomaterials that possess similar mechanical attributes as human bones, accompanied with admirable osteogenesis to replace conventional metallic implants would be an intriguing accomplishment, especially in the orthopedic, craniomaxillofacial and dental fields where biointerfaces with outstanding osseointegration are in high demand. Guided by this purpose, in the ...

Small minerals make strong bones Selectins with a catch ot content simply with a good fit, evolution has apparently designed adhesion molecules that stick optimally only when tugged upon. This property, may stop leukocytes and platelets from lingering in stagnant backwaters in the blood where there is little or no flow. Blood is a medium dominated by flow and shear forces. " If you think flow i...

Nowadays, magnesium (Mg) composites are gaining much attention in biomedical device applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. This research is study the microstructure, mechanical, corrosive antibacterial properties of Mg−2.5Zn−0.5Zr/xCNT (x = 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) made with mechanical alloying semi-powder metallurgy (SPM) processes, accompanied by SPS. Based on mi...

A broader application of biocomposites still faces many challenges regarding structural integrity, environmental resistance, and biodegradability. These issues are particularly important when their marine applications considered. Therefore, this paper seeks to address the hygroscopicity, mechanical properties, biofouling resistance made epoxy resin with 28 m% bio-based carbon content reinforced...

Impedance tube method is widely used to measure acoustic properties of materials. Although this yields reliable for soft textured materials, uncertainty levels measured hard including biocomposites, can be quite large, mainly due uncertain mounting conditions. Here, the effects conditions on biocomposites in an impedance are investigated. First, nominally identical biocomposite samples with a d...
