Biomimetic trace metals improve bone regenerative properties of calcium phosphate bioceramics
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)The bone regenerative capacity of synthetic calcium phosphates (CaPs) can be enhanced through the enrichment with selected metal trace ions. However, defining the optimal elemental composition required for bone formation ... -
High toughness resorbable brushite-gypsum fiber-reinforced cements
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)The ideal bone substitute material should be mechanically strong, biocompatible with a resorption rate matching the rate of new bone formation. Brushite (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate) cement is a promising bone substitute ... -
Selective Crystal Growth Regulation by Chiral α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids Improves the Strength and Toughness of Calcium Sulfate Cements
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)Natural biominerals, such as bones and teeth, use acidic matrix biomolecules to control growth, morphology, and organization of the brittle hydroxyapatite crystals. This interplay provides biominerals with outstanding ... -
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
( Thomas Telford Services Ltd , 2016 , Article)This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
