Permanent and Biodegradable Biomaterials

Written on . Posted in Research Topics.

  • Leading team: J. Sort / E. Pellicer
  • Papers: 16
  • Cover pages: 1
  • Completed PhD theses: 2
  • On-going theses: 2
  • Presentations to congresses: 20
  • Led by: J.Fornell, E. Pellicer and J. Sort
  • Excerpt: We investigate the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and cytotoxicity of different types of metallic materials (crystalline or amorphous) suitable for permanent orthopedic implants. Traditionally, 316L austenitic stainless steel and Co-Cr alloys have been employed as metallic orthopedic implants.
