Developmental Strategies to Address Prosthetic Infection and Magneto-Responsive Biomaterials for Orthopaedic Applications
(2018-05-16)
The issue of prosthetic infection leading to implant failure due to the formation of bacterial biofilms on biomaterial surfaces has been widely recognized as a major issue, often leading to revision surgery. The growing ...
Development of Multifunctional Biomaterials and Probing the Electric Field Stimulated Cell Functionality on Conducting Substrates : Experimental and Theoretical Studies
(2018-02-28)
Materials with appropriate combinations of multifunctional properties (strength, toughness, electrical conductivity and piezoelectricity) together with desired biocompatibility are promising candidates for biomedical ...
Investigations into the Synthesis, Structural and Multifunctional Aspects of Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 and K0.5Na0.5NbO3 Ceramics
(2018-06-23)
Non-centrosymmetric materials that can be polarized under applied mechanical stress or electric field are piezoelectric in nature and the phenomenon is called piezoelectric effect. They are broadly classified as direct and ...
