Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys for Orthopaedic applications: Processing-Microstructure-Property-Function Relationship
Metallic materials are used for osteosynthesis, and outcomes are expected to be complete healing. The latter part generally becomes unachievable when human subjects need complicated surgery. This situation generally requires ... -
Bioinspiration for battling bacteria: Nature inspired high aspect ratio nanostructures for new age antibacterial surfaces
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion, fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year. Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ... -
Cerium Oxide-based Degradable Polymer Nanocomposites for Bone Tissue Engineering
The incidences of bone-related disorders is growing steeply worldwide because of acute trauma, diseases related to aging, and obesity. Bone has a natural regenerative capacity to repair and regenerate fractures and small ... -
Development of a low modulus Ti-Nb-Ta-O alloy for orthopedic applications
Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr based β-Titanium alloys are currently projected as potential candidates for use in orthopaedic implants owing to their low elastic modulus and use of non-toxic elements. However, most of these alloys contain ... -
Effect of Processing Mg-6zn-0.2ce Through High-pressure Torsion on Its Use as a Biomaterial
Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ... -
Engineering Bioactive And Multifunctional Graphene Polymer Composites for Bone Tissue Regeneration
(2017-09-26)The growing incidences of orthopedic problems globally have created a huge demand for strong bioactive materials for bone tissue engineering. Over the years, studies have shown chemical, physical, and mechanical properties ... -
Engineering Bioactive Polymer/Ceramic Composite Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Regeneration
Tissue repair and regeneration is a natural healing process seen in human body in response to injuries and infections. The regenerative capacity of most tissues decelerates with age and its associated pathological conditions. ... -
Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering of Selective Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V for Improved Performance in Biomedical Implants
Metals and alloys are extensively used to prepare a wide variety of biomedical implants. The commonly employed materials are stainless steel (SS), cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, etc., because of their biocompatibility and corrosion ... -
Multifunctional hydrogels with injectable, self-healing, and shape-morphing capabilities for biomedical applications
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in interest surrounding implantable biomaterials due to their potential applications in treating physical defects and traumas. Hydrogels have garnered growing attention among ... -
Nanoscale surface engineering of metallic biomaterials for enhancement of mechanical and biological responses
Metallic materials are widely used in load bearing orthopedic applications. The alloys used in the implants are 316L stainless steel (SS), commercially pure Ti (cp-Ti), Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo alloys. The life of implants ... -
Silk-based Biomaterials for Wound Care and Tissue Regeneration
For most individuals, wound healing is a highly organized, straightforward process. However, there are instances where external intervention becomes necessary to support the body’s innate healing mechanism. In this thesis, ...
