Putra, N.E. (author)The treatment of large bone injuries continues to be challenging partially due to the limited quantity and quality of bone-replacing materials. Iron (Fe) and its alloys have been developed as a group of load-bearing biomaterials. Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have enhanced the potential of Fe-based biomaterials as biodegradable...doctoral thesis 2023

van Hengel, I.A.J. (author)Millions of people around the globe receive orthopedic implants every year. These implants help people to regain their mobility and contribute tremendously to improve the quality of life. However, a significant number of patients suffer from complications, such as implant associated infections (IAI) and aseptic loosening. The number of...doctoral thesis 2022

Fokker, Marike (author)Bone defects are a common problem in healthcare today. When the damage is too extensive, the human body is not able to heal itself. Different solutions are available, but they all have limitations. Therefore, the search for a solution to overcome these limitations is important. In this theses a way to create a scaffold out of seperate crumpled...master thesis 2022

Nouri Goushki, M. (author)Osteoimmunomodulation (OIM) is a mechanism through which orthopedic biomaterials may modulate the function of immune cells to promote osteogenesis. OIM is considered a potentially effective way for improving osseointegration. The surface characteristics of orthopedic implants (e.g., topography, wettability, surface chemistry, and charge) can...doctoral thesis 2022

Kolken, H.M.A. (author)Since the beginning of time, humans have been trying to replace the skeletal system in cases of trauma or disease. Medical devices were designed, manufactured, and implanted, to restore the function of the skeletal system. Fast forward to today and joint replacements are among the most common surgeries carried out in the world. Despite their...doctoral thesis 2022

(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

(author)We designed and fabricated a simple setup for the controlled crumpling of nanopatterned, surface-porous flat metallic sheets for the fabrication of volume-porous biomaterials and showed that crumpling can be considered as an efficient alternative to origami-inspired folding. Before crumpling, laser cutting was used to introduce pores to the...journal article 2022

(author)Folding nanopatterned flat sheets into complex 3D structures enables the fabrication of meta-biomaterials that combine a rationally designed 3D architecture with nanoscale surface features. Self-folding is an attractive approach for realizing such materials. However, self-folded lattices are generally too compliant as there is an inherent...journal article 2022
