Composite materials have been widely promoted as possible orthopaedic biomaterials but
to date have found few successful commercial applications, due to the many challenging …

Carbon fiber offers numerous material benefits including reduced wear, high strength-to-
weight ratio, a similar elastic modulus to that of bone, and high biocompatibility. Carbon fiber …

This paper is a retrospective presentation of the authors' articles concerning the design and
prototype manufacturing of a composite femoral prosthesis. A composite hip femoral …

In total hip arthroplasty, concerns such as corrosion and stress shielding associated with stiff
metallic femoral components have led to the development of low stiffness advanced fibre …

Hydroxyapatite coatings with proper thickness were coated on fusion-cage-like carbon fiber
reinforced carbon composite implants for bone tissue reconstruction by the plasma spraying …

A novel low-stiffness extensively porous-coated total hip femoral component was designed
to achieve stable skeletal fixation, structural durability, and reduced periprosthetic femoral …

Polymer composites are potentially useful materials for orthopaedic applications as they can
be tailored to closely match the various moduli of bone. The Cambridge epiphyseal cup has …

To obtain a better appreciation for the structural performance of a laminated composite hip
prosthesis (CP), we examined in situ prosthesis structural response and relative strengths as …

A major issue in bone tissue engineering is the selection of biocompatible materials for
implants, to reduce unwanted inflammatory reactions and promote cell adhesion. Bone …
