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.

Bioceramics as nanomaterials

TL;DR: The literature reviewed demonstrates that these interactions are directly affected by the nanostructure of the ceramic surfaces, which may play one of the leading roles in the development of nanomedicine.

Polyurethane foam scaffold as in vitro model for breast cancer bone metastasis.

TL;DR: The suitability of a porous polyurethane foam, synthesized using an appropriate formulaton, is proved in mimicking the bone tissue microenvironment and in reproducing the metastatic colonization derived from human breast cancer, particularly evidencing the devastating effects on the bone extracellular matrix caused by metastatic spreading.

MgF2-coated porous magnesium/alumina scaffolds with improved strength, corrosion resistance, and biological performance for biomedical applications

TL;DR: The biological response evaluated by in vitro cell test and blood test of the MgF2-coated porous Mg composite was enhanced with better corrosion resistance compared with that of uncoated counterparts, Consequently, MgPorous magnesium/alumina composites may be applied in load-bearing biodegradable implants.

Elastic modulus and hardness of cortical and trabecular bovine bone measured by nanoindentation

TL;DR: The elastic modulus and hardness of several microstructure components of dry bovine vertebrae and tibia have been investigated in the longitude and transverse directions using nanoindentation and analyses of variance show that the values are significantly different.

Dry spinning approach to continuous graphene fibers with high toughness.

TL;DR: The dry spinning technique was used to fabricate continuous GFs and the dry spun GFs showed good toughness and flexibility, and thedry spinnability of graphene oxide liquid crystals was achieved by choosing dispersive solvents with low surface tension and high volatility.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.

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.

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.

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.

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.
