Thermal Nitridation Deoxygenation and Biotribological Properties of Zr2.5Nb
Biosurface and BiotribologyZirconium and its alloys are considered to be materials for artificial joints because of their excellent biocompatibility. In this study, we proposed the introduction of high‐purity iron beads as external deoxidisers to inhibit the oxidation of Zr2.5Nb ...

How Do Cartilage Lubrication Mechanisms Fail in Osteoarthritis? A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
BioengineeringCartilage degeneration is a characteristic of osteoarthritis (OA), which is often observed in aging populations. This degeneration is due to the breakdown of articular cartilage (AC) mechanical and tribological properties primarily attributed to ...
