Abstract The role of Bone Tissue Engineering in the field of Regenerative Medicine has
been the topic of substantial research over the past two decades. Technological advances …

The mechanical properties of cortical bone vary not only from bone to bone; they
demonstrate a spatial viability even within the same bone due to its changing microstructure …

Nanoindentation provides the ideal framework to determine mechanical properties of bone
at the tissue scale without being affected by the size, shape, and porosity of the bone …

Nanoindentation techniques have recently been adapted for the study of biological
materials. This feature will consider the experimental adaptations required for such studies …

This paper presented an effective method for the three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous
scaffold design for tissue engineering. To achieve such a hierarchical porous structure with …

In this paper we show how reliable measurements on porous ceramic films can be made by
appropriate nanoindentation experiments and analysis. Room-temperature mechanical …

Bone diseases such as osteoporosis are one of the main causes of bone fracture and often
result in hospitalization and long recovery periods. Researchers are aiming to develop new …

High strength, low Young's modulus and good biocompatibility are desirable but difficult to
simultaneously achieve in metallic implant materials for load bearing applications, and these …

Abstract α′ phase based Ti–Nb–Zr alloys with low Young's modulus and high strength
were prepared, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were characterized. It …

For spinal-fixation applications, implants should have a high Young's modulus to reduce
springback during operations, though a low Young's modulus is required to prevent stress …
