This review critically examines the current state of graphene reinforced metal (GNP-MMC)
and ceramic matrix composites (GNP-CMC). The use of graphene as reinforcement for …

The high brittleness and low strength of bioactive ceramics have severely restricted their
application in bone repair despite the fact that they have been regarded as one of the most …

For decades, enormous investigation effort has been devoted to the fabrication of new
ceramic matrix composites with enhanced mechanical properties. One of the most explored …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been an excellent replacement for the natural bone in orthopedic
applications owing to its close resemblance to the bone properties; however, it is brittle and …

The state-of-the-art on calcium orthophosphate (CaPO4)-containing biocomposites and
hybrid biomaterials suitable for biomedical applications is presented. Since these types of …

In this research, instrumented spherical micro-indentation/scratch tests were conducted to
investigate microscopic mechanical properties of multilayer graphene (MLG) reinforced …

Bone and cartilage defects may occur for various reasons such as degenerative, surgical,
and traumatic diseases. Autograft and allograft transplantations have the inherent problems …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) and related materials have been frequently studied as ceramic-based
bone graft materials due to their outstanding biocompatibility and osteoconduction. Since …

Ceramics have superior hardness, strength and corrosion resistance, but are also
associated with poor toughness. Here, we propose the boron nitride nanoplatelet (BNNP) as …

Recent demands in clinical applications drive a large amount of research to plasma sprayed
hydroxyapatite (HA) composite coatings. Herein, graphene nanosheet (GNS) reinforced HA …
