Design and mechanical evaluation of a novel dynamic growth rod to improve the surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Growth rods are the gold standard for treating early-onset scoliosis (EOS), but current treatments often fail to optimally promote spinal growth and require frequent distraction surgeries, leading to complications and significant burdens on ...

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Microstructural Evolution and In Situ Formation of TiB and TiC in Ti─5Al─2.5Sn Alloy Processed by Powder Metallurgy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Accelerated in situ formation of TiB and TiC in Ti–5Al–2.5Sn–B4C is driven by transient liquid phase formation, which enhances particle reactions and microstructural evolution. This process increases hardness and establishes a coupled relationship between sintering temperature and reinforcement content, strongly influencing porosity in the resulting ...
