Journal ArticleDOI
Bioinspired structural materials
TL;DR: The common design motifs of a range of natural structural materials are reviewed, and the difficulties associated with the design and fabrication of synthetic structures that mimic the structural and mechanical characteristics of their natural counterparts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing as a path to build complex composites.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the physics of ice formation can be used to develop sophisticated porous and layered-hybrid materials, including artificial bone, ceramic-metal composites, and porous scaffolds for osseous tissue regeneration with strengths up to four times higher than those of materials currently used for implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tough, bio-inspired hybrid materials.
Etienne Munch,Maximimilan E. Launey,Daan Hein Alsem,Daan Hein Alsem,Eduardo Saiz,Antoni P. Tomsia,Robert O. Ritchie,Robert O. Ritchie +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors emulate Nature's toughening mechanisms through the combination of two ordinary compounds, aluminum oxide and polymethylmethacrylate, into ice-templated structures whose toughness can be over 300 times (in energy terms) that of their constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioactive glass in tissue engineering
Mohamed N. Rahaman,Delbert E. Day,B. Sonny Bal,Qiang Fu,Steven B. Jung,Lynda F. Bonewald,Antoni P. Tomsia +6 more
TL;DR: Recent work has shown the ability of bioactive glass to promote angiogenesis, which is critical to numerous applications in tissue regeneration, such as neovascularization for bone regeneration and the healing of soft tissue wounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freeze casting of hydroxyapatite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
TL;DR: It is reported here how freeze casting can be applied to synthesize porous scaffolds exhibiting unusually high compressive strength, e.g. up to 145 MPa for 47% porosity and 65MPa for 56%porosity, which might open the way for hydroxyapatite-based materials designed for load-bearing applications.
