With the ageing of the population and the increase in sports injuries, the incidence rate of orthopedic diseases is rising, and the demand for orthopedic implants is also growing. Effective implant materials and techniques have become the key to improving the quality of life for patients. The success of orthopedic implants largely depends on their surface properties, such as biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, and mechanical properties. Through surface engineering technology, the performance of implants can be significantly improved, enhancing their functionality and durability in vivo. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate implant surface engineering to prolong the orthopedic implant service life.
This research topic aims to collect and showcase the latest research achievements and technological innovations in the field of surface engineering of orthopedic implants, laying a theoretical foundation for the development of innovative orthopedic implants and providing the latest knowledge and insights for the academic community and clinical doctors. At the same time, it provides a platform for researchers, clinical doctors, and industry experts to exchange ideas, promote academic discussions and cooperation, and promote the development of this field. This journal showcases the breadth, depth, and timeliness of the topic, and provides opportunities for publishing new work and discoveries.
This Research Topic will introduce original high-quality research papers covering biomaterials and surface science, as well as a comprehensive review of the latest research related to biomaterials and surface science, and provide appropriate practical applications. We are inviting you to submit a manuscript for this Research Topic. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome. Topics of interest for this collection include, but are not limited to:
1. Surface modification technology: including but not limited to the application of surface coating, plasma spraying, laser treatment, electrochemical treatment, nanostructure design and other technologies in orthopedic implants.
2. Biocompatibility and bioactivity: Study the impact of surface engineering on the biocompatibility and bioactivity of implants, and explore how to enhance the binding and integration between implants and bone tissue through surface modification.
3. Wear and corrosion of metallic materials: studying the influence of surface engineering on the interface friction and wear mechanism, the corrosion behavior of biomaterials;
4. Multifunctional Surface: Explore and develop surface engineering technologies with multifunctionality, such as implant surfaces with antibacterial, and bone growth promoting.
Keywords:
Implants, Tribology, Surface modification, Additive manufacturing, Coatings
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
