(author), Zhou, J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Advanced additive manufacturing techniques have been recently used to tackle the two fundamental challenges of biodegradable Fe-based bone-substituting materials, namely low rate of biodegradation and insufficient bioactivity. While additively manufactured porous iron has been somewhat successful in addressing the first challenge, the limited...journal article 2022

Putra, N.E. (author), Tigrine, A. (author), Aksakal, S. (author), de la Rosa, V. R. (author), Taheri, P. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufacturing of porous iron offers a unique opportunity to increase its biodegradation rate by taking advantage of arbitrarily complex porous structures. Nevertheless, achieving the required biodegradation profile remains challenging due to the natural passivation of iron that decrease the biodegradation rate. Moreover, the...journal article 2022
