Sandwich composites are three-dimensional (3D) composite structures that offer higher stiffness with overall low density. However, they suffer from low strength; thus, not suited for load bearing applications. In this work, an attempt is made to develop a high strength lightweight sandwich composite suited for load-bearing applications. A sandwich ...

Lesions of the Musculotendinous Unit (MTU, i.e. tendon, myotendinous junction, muscle, aponeurosis and myoaponeurotic junction) are a common injury and a leading cause of functional impairment, long-term pain, and/or physical disability worldwide. Though a large effort has been devoted to macroscopic failure evaluation, these injuries suffer from a...

This paper reports on the process-fatigue relation of lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LDGC) using low-cycle, high-load Hertzian indentations with a rigid indenter to simulate teeth grinding/clenching of LDGC restorations with different surface asperities obtained in CAD/CAM milling, sintering, polishing and glazing. The maximum contact stresses w...

In the present study, cellular lattice structures for implant applications are reported for the first-time incorporating copper directly by in-situ alloying in the laser powder bed fusion process. The aim to incorporate 3 at.% Cu into Ti6Al4V(ELI) is selected for improved antibacterial properties while maintaining appropriate mechanical properties....

Long-term edentulism associated with vertical loss of alveolar bone might lead to increased suprastructure height. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of suprastructure height on the stability of the implant-abutment connection by investigating the stability of two different two-piece titanium implants with internal hexagonal or conical connect...

The spinal meninges play a mechanical protective role for the spinal cord. Better knowledge of the mechanical behavior of these tissues wrapping the cord is required to accurately model the stress and strain fields of the spinal cord during physiological or traumatic motions. Then, the mechanical properties of meninges along the spinal canal are no...

The poor elasticity of wound dressings often leads to wound healing failure due to rupture and fall off. In this study, the composite films of zein and hydrogel poly (acrylic acid) were developed in order to obtain stretchable wound dressing for skin burn repair. The mechanical test revealed that the maximum elongation of break of composite films c...

Bone is a composite material consisting principally of apatite mineral, collagen fibrils, non-collagenous proteins, and other organic species. Recent electron microscopy studies have shown that the mineral in bone occurs as stacks of thin polycrystalline sheets ("mineral lamellae," MLs) which surround and lie between the collagen fibrils. We focus ...

Elastic fiber assembly is coordinated in part by fibulin-5, a matricellular protein. When fibulin-5 is not available to guide elastogenesis, elastin forms into disconnected globules instead of the dense elastic fiber core found in healthy tissues. Despite the growing evidence for a significant role of elastic fibers in tendon mechanics and the clin...

Plasma-based treatment is a prevalent strategy to alter biological response and enhance biomaterial coating quality at the surfaces of biomedical devices and implants, especially polymeric materials. Plasma, an ionized gas, is often thought to have negligible effects on the bulk properties of prosthetic substrates given that it alters the surface c...
