Biomaterials are natural or artificial materials used to make structures or implants to replace lost or diseased biological structures to restore form and function. Metals or alloys used for biomedical application, usually have high fatigue resistance and mechanical strength, and are used as bear loads in clinical practice. Biomedical metal materials are used as artificial valves in the heart, stents in blood vessels, replacement implants for shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, ears, and oral structures in different parts of the human body. In order to meet the need of the ever-increasing quality of life and aging population, therefore, the application of the research and development of metal materials in the field of biomedicine is very urgent.
This Research Topic aims to solve various problems of medical metal materials in actual clinical service. Medical metal materials are used in the complex environment of body fluid, so the requirements for the structure and properties of implant materials are very strict. Medical metal materials should have good biocompatibility, non-toxic, non-hemolytic and allergic reactions. Medical metal materials should also have proper hardness, strength, elastic modulus, wear resistance and fatigue life to meet the actual needs, so as to ensure long-term service stability. At present, the challenges faced by medical metal materials are still arduous, such as the wear and corrosion in body fluid, the control of degradation rate of biodegradable scaffolds and the biocompatibility of implant surface, which need to be further studied and solved.
Topics include biomaterials, biomechanics, bionics, bionics, biotechnology, biosafety and biosecurity, industrial biotechnology. We are glad to welcome any articles on the above issues. For example, titanium alloy, shape memory alloy and other bone implant materials with complex porous structure and good biocompatibility. Accurate control of the degradation rate of biodegradable cardiovascular stents. The addition of surface elements can improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The development of a series of new technologies, such as porous, micro nano, amorphous, 3D printing, surface modification of Biomedical Metal materials. The long-term service failure mechanism and improvement method of biomedical metal after implantation.
