High-entropy ceramics with five or more cations have recently attracted significant attention
due to their superior properties for various structural and functional applications. Although …

Hip and knee joint replacements are common and largely successful procedures that utilise
implants to restore mobility and relieve pain for patients suffering from eg osteoarthritis …

Surfaces of medical implants can be enhanced with the favorable properties of titanium‐
nitride (TiN). In a review of English medical literature, the effects of TiN‐coating on …

Coatings such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium nitride (TiN) are employed in joint
implants due to their excellent tribological properties. Recently, graphite-like carbon (GLC) …

Advanced bioceramics have played integral roles in treatment modalities for damaged or
diseased human joints and osseous defects. This paper reviews the uses and properties of …

To enhance the wear resistance and friction-reducing capability of titanium alloy, a process
of laser cladding γ-NiCrAlTi/TiC+ TiWC 2/CrS+ Ti 2 CS coatings on Ti–6Al–4V alloy …

Thin films have emerged as an ideal surface treatment to the permanent implant materials to
enhance properties such as biodegradation resistance, better mechanical strengths and …

Cathodic arc deposition of ceramic coatings is gaining importance due to their good
adhesion and minimum residual stresses. In this work we have arc deposited TiN coatings …

Since the publication of the original review of piezoelectric acoustic sensors in this series
there has been a consistent, gradual expansion in the number of published papers using …

Wear debris, of deferent sizes, shapes and quantities, generated in artificial hip and knees is
largely confined to the bone and joint interface. This debris interacts with periprosthetic …
