Biomedical-Grade Composite Ceramics Through a Nanopowder Engineering Approach: A Discussion of Two Successful Case Studies
By exploiting an innovative “nanopowder engineering” approach, nanocomposite ceramics for biomedical applications are here designed and developed. The method is illustrated into two case studies: the former devoted to Alumina-Zirconia composites for orthopedic implants,
the latter to Ceria-stabilized Zirconia-based composites for dental and spine implants. Design and elaboration are carefully controlled in order to produce long-lasting and high-performance materials, with practical applicability in biomedical devices.
