Increasing Interface Interaction for Titanium Medical Implants
A new approach to the development of functional and biocompatible coatings for titanium metal implants aims to reduce their failure rates by altering the nano-morphology of the surface.
A Proven Software for the Calculation of Materials Properties
The JMatPro software calculates a wide range of materials properties for metallic alloys. It is particularly aimed at multi-components alloys used in industrial practice.
A Soft Touch with Increasing Resistance
Researchers integrate energy absorbing metal hollow spheres into a wire-woven bulk Kagome structure. These hybrids show an outstanding energy absorption capability.
Fever Responsive Drug Delivery
Chinese scientists developed a temperature-sensitive drug release system based on titanium nanotubes. A smart hydrogel layer acts as controlling barrier and releases drug for local drug therapy.
Nanostructured, Functional and for Commercial Use
The sample size of nanomaterials with functional properties has been limited to just a few millimeters. This fact has limited their commercial use, so far.
