Improving the Tribological Properties and Biocompatibility of Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glass for Potential Biomedical Applications

Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (Zr-BMGs) are potentially the next generation of metallic biomaterials for orthopaedic fixation devices and joint implants owing to their attractive bulk material properties. However, their poor tribological properties and long-term biocompatibility present major conce...
