The research on the use of zirconia ceramics as biomaterials.
Ceramic biomaterials review.
Bioceramics and bioglasses are ceramic materials that are biocompatible.
Zirconia ceramics have several advantages over other ceramic materials due to the transformation toughening mechanisms operating in their microstructure that can give to components made out of them very interesting mechanical properties.
Bioceramics are an important subset of biomaterials.
Joint tissue replacement metal coating to improve biocompatibility.
Initial chapters review biomedical applications and types of ceramics with subsequent sections focusing on the properties of ceramics and on corrosion degradation and wear of ceramic biomaterials.
Ceramic biomaterials also stimulate bone growth and have low friction coefficients.
Bioceramics range in biocompatibility from the ceramic oxides which are inert in the body to the other extreme of resorbable materials which are eventually replaced by the body after they have assisted repair bioceramics are used in many types of medical procedures.
