  • Characterization of TiNbHf alloys for potential medical dental applications

    Creator:
    Amick, Darryl D.
    Abstract:
    A series of TiNbHf alloys ranging from 0-40 atomic % Nb and 0-15 atomic % Hf were evaluated to investigate low-elastic modulus phenomena which occur in this ternary system. The desirability of utilizing corrosion-resistant, biocompatible alloys with elastic modulus values approaching that of human bone for medical prosthetic implants provides...

  • Development and characterization of novel hydrogels for nucleus pulposus replacement

    Creator:
    Bader, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...
