Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone
TLDR
Further investigations of mechanical properties at the "materials level", in addition to the studies at the 'structural level' are needed to fill the gap in present knowledge and to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of bone.About:

Graphene-based macroscopic assemblies and architectures: an emerging material system.
TL;DR: This critical review mainly addresses recent advances in the design and fabrication of graphene-based macroscopic assemblies and architectures and their potential applications and presents the promising potential applications in the fields of electronic and optoelectronic devices, sensors, electrochemical energy devices, and in water treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomaterials for bone tissue engineering scaffolds: a review
TL;DR: The structure, mechanical properties and materials of natural bone and the strategies of bone tissue engineering, which includes the history, types, properties and applications of biomaterials, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of hierarchical hybrid micro/nano-textured titanium surface with titania nanotubes on osteoblast functions
TL;DR: A synergistic role played by the micro and nanotopographies in osteoblast functions is revealed and insight to the design of better biomedical implant surfaces is provided and leads to faster bone maturation around the titanium implants without compromising the bone mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metallic Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration
Kelly Alvarez,Hideo Nakajima +1 more
TL;DR: Desc descriptions of the different manufacturing technologies available to fabricate metallic scaffolds and a compilation of the reported biocompatibility of the currently developed metallic scaffolding have been performed to highlight the positive aspects and the remaining problems that will drive future research in metallic constructs aimed for the reconstruction and repair of bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The design of mineralised hard tissues for their mechanical functions.
TL;DR: In the case of hard tissues, such as mollusc shell, echinoderm skeleton, brachiopod shell, barnacle shell and enamel, mineralisation is almost all-or-none, and no subtle gradations seem possible as discussed by the authors.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.
Dennis R. Carter,Wilson C. Hayes +1 more
TL;DR: These power relationships, which were shown to hold for all bone in the skeleton, allow meaningful predictions of bone tissue strength and stiffness based on in vivo density measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Young's modulus of trabecular and cortical bone material: ultrasonic and microtensile measurements.
TL;DR: The results suggest that when considered mechanically, cortical and trabecular bone are not the same material.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical behaviour of cancellous bone
TL;DR: The results of this previous study are applied to cancellous bone in an attempt to further understand its mechanical behaviour and the results agree reasonably well with experimental data available in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic properties of human cortical and trabecular lamellar bone measured by nanoindentation
TL;DR: An experimental investigation was undertaken to measure the intrinsic elastic properties of several of the microstructural components of human vertebral trabecular bone and tibial cortical bone by the nanoindentation method, and differences in the measured moduli are statistically significant.
