(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Jahr, H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)An ideal bone substituting material should be bone-mimicking in terms of mechanical properties, present a precisely controlled and fully interconnected porous structure, and degrade in the human body to allow for full regeneration of large bony defects. However, simultaneously satisfying all these three requirements has so far been highly...journal article 2017

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufactured (AM) topologically ordered porous metallic biomaterials with the proper biodegradation profile offer a unique combination of properties ideal for bone regeneration. These include a fully interconnected porous structure, bone-mimicking mechanical properties, and the possibility of fully regenerating bony defects. Most...journal article 2018

Li, Y. (author), Jahr, H. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Partially due to the unavailability of ideal bone substitutes, the treatment of large bony defects remains one of the most important challenges of orthopedic surgery. Additively manufactured (AM) biodegradable porous metals that have emerged since 2018 provide unprecedented opportunities for fulfilling the requirements of an ideal bone...review 2020

(author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufacturing (AM) opens up the possibility for biodegradable metals to possess uniquely combined characteristics that are desired for bone substitution, including bone-mimicking mechanical properties, topologically ordered porous structure, pore interconnectivity and biodegradability. Zinc is considered to be one of the promising...journal article 2020

(author)Biodegradable stents can provide scaffolding and anti-restenosis benefits in the short term and then gradually disappear over time to free the vessel, among which the Mg-based biodegradable metal stents have been prosperously developed. In the present study, a Mg-8.5Li (wt.%) alloy (RE- and Al-free) with high ductility (> 40%) was...journal article 2021

Li, Y. (author), Pavanram, P. (author), Bühring, J. (author), Rütten, S. (author), Schröder, K. U. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Pufe, T. (author), Wang, L. . (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Jahr, H. (author)Additively manufactured (AM) degradable porous metallic biomaterials offer unique opportunities for satisfying the design requirements of an ideal bone substitute. Among the currently available biodegradable metals, iron has the highest elastic modulus, meaning that it would benefit the most from porous design. Given the successful...journal article 2023
