(author)The fatigue performance of additively manufactured auxetic meta-biomaterials made from commercially pure titanium has been studied only recently. While certain assumptions have been made regarding the mechanisms underlying their fatigue failure, the exact mechanisms are not researched yet. Here, we studied the mechanisms of crack formation...journal article 2022

Kolken, H.M.A. (author), Garcia, A. Fontecha (author), Du Plessis, A. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Meta-biomaterials offer a promising route towards the development of life-lasting implants. The concept aims to achieve solutions that are ordinarily impossible, by offering a unique combination of mechanical, mass transport, and biological properties through the optimization of their small-scale geometrical and topological designs. In this...journal article 2021

Kolken, H.M.A. (author), de Jonge, C.P. (author), van der Sloten, T. (author), Garcia, A. Fontecha (author), Pouran, B. (author), Willemsen, K. (author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)The unprecedented properties of meta-biomaterials could pave the way for the development of life-lasting orthopedic implants. Here, we used non-auxetic meta-biomaterials to address the shortcomings of the current treatment options in acetabular revision surgery. Due to the severe bone deficiencies and poor bone quality, it can be very...journal article 2021
