Materials for 3D printing in medicine: Metals, polymers, ceramics, hydrogels
TL;DR: This chapter discusses 3D printed materials currently in clinical use and those under research and development for use in medicine, in particular implants for tissue repair and regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roughness statistical influence on cell adhesion using profilometry and multiscale analysis
TL;DR: It appears that roughness has no reproducible effect on the cell behavior except an influence on cell orientation on the wider grooves when roughness is isotropic and groove width is inferior to a critical value.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of Sn addition on phase stability and phase evolution during aging heat treatment in Ti–Mo alloys employed as biomaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, phase stability in β Ti-Mo-Sn alloys processed under different conditions was investigated and the results suggest that Sn suppresses the formation of the ω and α-phase precipitation.

Titanium alloys in total joint replacement—a materials science perspective
Marc Long,H.J Rack +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines current information on the physical and mechanical characteristics of titanium alloys used in artifical joint replacement prostheses, with a special focus on those issues associated with the long-term prosthetic requirements, e.g., fatigue and wear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of titanium, titanium alloys, and related materials for biomedical applications
TL;DR: A review of surface modification techniques for titanium and titanium alloys can be found in this article, where the authors have shown that the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological properties can be improved selectively using the appropriate surface treatment techniques while the desirable bulk attributes of the materials are retained.

Principles and prevention of corrosion
TL;DR: In this article, the technology and evaluation of Corrosion is presented, with a focus on the effects of Metallurgical Structure on Corrosions, and a discussion of materials selection and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
