Depending on the targeted application(s) of the biomaterial, specific mechanical tests need to be conducted for the biomaterial. In this article, basic mechanical properties of bulk biomaterials and their testing methods, including tensile testing, compression testing, shear testing, torsional testing, ...
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are relative newcomers in the field of biomaterials but they exhibit an excellent combination of properties and processing capabilities desired for versatile implant applications. To further evaluate the suitability of BMGs for biomedical applications, we analyzed the ...

Degradation of biomaterials Overview In bulk erosion, mass loss occurs throughout the material following polymer hydration; water penetrates the polymer at a faster rate than it is broken down.17 Decrease in molecular weight and loss of mechanical properties begin at the start of degradation, while...
Conclusions Sanita wrapping film can be used as a successful ICB, without jeopardizing the concept of bulk-fill composites. Pinnacle cure sleeve can be considered an effective ICB, however its influence on properties and serviceability of bulk-fill composites remains questionable.View...
Investigation of mechanical properties The mechanical properties of the final bulk artificial nacre were then systematically studied and compared to that of the natural C. plicata nacre, pure SA bulk, and disordered brushite–SA composite in order to demonstrate the validity of our multiscale nacre...
Although various achievements were made in the past years to structurally enhance the properties of different BMG alloys, the influence of short-term sub- glass transition annealing on the relaxation kinetics is still not fully covered. Here, we aim for unraveling the connection between the physical...
propertiesCopolymers of Fe acrylate-methyl methacrylate (MMA), Mn acrylate-MMA and terpolymer of Fe acrylate-Mn acrylate-MMA were prepared by bulk technique. A thorough investigation of the response of the prepared samples to γ-irradiation has been carried out. The frequency dependence of a.c. ...
Readers can refer to excellent reviews on LBL approaches (formation, properties) elsewhere for various applications from drug delivery, biomaterials, oral health, antibacterial coating to sensor technology [88,140]. To our knowledge, there are no study on mucin multilayer discussing the relationship ...
As the number of applications has increased, so has the demand for contact lenses comfort. Adding polysaccharides to lenses is a popular way to enhance comfort for wearers. However, this may also compromise some lens properties. It is still unclear how to balance the variation of individual len...
