Young's modulus of α'- and α-crystals of poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA), more precisely, of aggregates of isotropically arranged lamellae, has been estimated based on dynamic-mechanical analysis of sets of isotropic film samples containing largely different though well-defined amounts of crystals. Evaluation of the modulus of elasticity of these film ...

Multi-component lithium disilicate (LD) glasses were ion-exchanged in a pure or mixed nitrate salt bath. The surface morphologies, mechanical properties, chemical stability and ion leaching of ion-exchanged LD glasses before and after storage in artificial saliva for 21 days were investigated. It can be found that chemical stability of ion-exchange...

Realistic modelling of human soft tissue is very important in medical applications. This paper proposes a novel method by dynamically incorporating soft tissue characterisation in the process of soft tissue modelling to increase the modelling fidelity. This method defines nonlinear tissue deformation with unknown mechanical properties as a problem ...

The trochanteric soft tissue attenuates impact force or absorbs impact energy during a fall on the hip (thereby helps to reduce a risk of hip fracture). While the benefits should be affected by contractions of muscles spanning the hip joint, no information is available to date. We examined how the stiffness (force attenuation capacity) and energy a...

Magnesium (Mg)-based composites, as one group of the biodegradable materials, enjoy high biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity making them a great option for implant applications. In this paper, by the semi powder metallurgy (SPM) technique, the graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanosystems, as reinforcements...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been used widely in dentistry due to its sealing ability and biocompatibility. Delayed setting time is one of the major limitations of MTA. Various additives have been studied to further improve the properties of MTA with varied degrees of success. In this study, we have investigated the effect of a calcium phos...

In this study, we evaluate the performance of three algorithms as computational models of trabecular bone architecture, through systematic evaluation of morphometric, topological, and mechanical properties. Here, we consider the widely-used gyroid lattice structure, the recently-developed spinodoid structure and a structure similar to Voronoi latti...

The availability of quantitative structural data on the orientation of collagen fibers is of crucial importance for understanding the behavior of connective tissues. These fibers can be visualized using a variety of imaging techniques, including second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy. However, characterization of the collagen network requires ...

Due to the ageing of the population, the synthesis of biomaterials and the optimization of their physico-chemical characteristics are at the heart of many research projects in regenerative medicine. The emergence of 3D printing techniques has rapidly led to the manufacture PLA-BG composite scaffolds using the FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) techni...

Joint replacements have become one of the most common orthopedic procedures due to the significant demands of retaining functional mobility. While these procedures are of great value to patients, there are some limitations. Durability is the most important limitation associated with joint replacement that needs to be addressed due to the increasing...
