(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author)Implant-associated infections are notoriously difficult to treat and may even result in amputation and death. The first few days after surgery are the most critical time to prevent those infections, preferably through full eradication of the micro-organisms entering the body perioperatively. That is particularly important for patients with a...journal article 2017

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Biomaterials and tissue biomechanics have been traditionally separate areas of research with relatively little overlap in terms of methodological approaches. Recent advances in both fields on the one hand and developments in fabrication techniques and design approaches on the other have prepared the ground for joint research efforts by both...contribution to periodical 2017

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) techniques in terms of accuracy, reliability, the range of processable materials, and commercial availability have made them promising candidates for production of functional parts including those used in the biomedical industry. The complexity-for-free feature offered by AM means that very...journal article 2017

Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Hedayati, R. (author), Vena, P. (author), Vergani, L. (author), Strano, M. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)The elastic properties of mechanical metamaterials are direct functions of their topological designs. Rational design approaches based on computational models could, therefore, be used to devise topological designs that result in the desired properties. It is of particular importance to independently tailor the elastic modulus and Poisson's...journal article 2017

Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author), Habibi, M. (author), Janbaz, S. (author), Vergani, L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Crumpled-based materials are relatively easy to fabricate and show robust mechanical properties for practical applications, including meta-biomaterials design aimed for improved tissue regeneration. For such requests, however, the structure needs to be porous. We introduce a crumpled holey thin sheet as a robust bio-metamaterial and measure...journal article 2017

Callens, S.J.P. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Transforming flat sheets into three-dimensional structures has emerged as an exciting manufacturing paradigm on a broad range of length scales. Among other advantages, this technique permits the use of functionality-inducing planar processes on flat starting materials, which after shape-shifting, result in a unique combination of macro-scale...journal article 2017

Hedayati, R. (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additively manufactured porous titanium implants, in addition to preserving the excellent biocompatible properties of titanium, have very small stiffness values comparable to those of natural bones. Although usually loaded in compression, biomedical implants can also be under tensional, shear, and bending loads which leads to crack initiation...journal article 2017

Janbaz, S. (author), Noordzij, N. (author), Widyaratih, Dwisetya Safirna (author), Hagen, C.W. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Lattice structures are used in the design of metamaterials to achieve unusual physical, mechanical, or biological properties. The properties of such metamaterials result from the topology of the lattice structures, which are usually three-dimensionally (3D) printed. To incorporate advanced functionalities into metamaterials, the surface of the...journal article 2017

Janbaz, S. (author), Weinans, H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Recent research has shown the potential of rationally designed geometrical features for controlling the functionality of advanced materials. Of particular recent interest has been the use of geometry for controlling the buckling behaviour of soft materials under compression. However, the effects of geometry may be mixed with those of the...journal article 2016

Janbaz, S. (author), Hedayati, R. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Nature uses various activation mechanisms to program complex transformations in the shape and functionality of living organisms. Inspired by such natural events, we aimed to develop initially flat (i.e. two-dimensional) programmable materials that, when triggered by a stimulus such as temperature, could self-transform their shape into a complex...journal article 2016

Hedayati, R. (author), Sadighi, M. (author), Mohammadi-Aghdam, M. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Honeycomb structures have found numerous applications as structural and biomedical materials due to their favourable properties such as low weight, high stiffness, and porosity. Application of additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques allows for manufacturing of honeycombs with arbitrary shape and wall thickness, opening the way for...journal article 2016

(author)The mechanical behavior of additively manufactured porous biomaterials has recently received increasing attention. While there is a relatively large body of data available on the static mechanical properties of such biomaterials, their fatigue behavior is not yet well-understood. That is partly because systematic study of the fatigue behavior...journal article 2016

(author)Honeycombs resemble the structure of a number of natural and biological materials such as cancellous bone, wood, and cork. Thick honeycomb could be also used for energy absorption applications. Moreover, studying the mechanical behavior of honeycombs under in-plane loading could help understanding the mechanical behavior of more complex 3D...journal article 2016

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)The relationship between hip deformities and osteoarthritis has recently received a lot of attention. In particular, it has been shown that both osteoarthritis and its precursors, such as the hip deformities that lead to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), are more prevalent in elite athletes compared with the general population. However, the...journal article 2015
