Surface Engineering for Bone Implants: A Trend from Passive to Active Surfaces

Surface Engineering for Bone Implants: A Trend from Passive to Active Surfaces

The mechanical and biological properties of bone implants need to be optimal to form a quick and firm connection with the surrounding environment in load bearing applications. Bone is a connective tissue composed of an organic collagenous matrix, a fine dispersion of reinforcing inorganic (calcium p...
