Introduction Pressure ulcers typically result from normal and/or shear pressure on the skin. Grade I or II ulcers are associated with interface shear stress, while grade III or IV ulcers may occur due to significant […]
Introduction In daily activities, articulating interfaces undergo three-dimensional dynamic motion and loading, transmitting frictional forces to modular interfaces, causing fretting wear and corrosion. This phenomenon is observed in various artificial joints, including hips, knees, shoulders, […]
Introduction Artificial joints are typically secured using either bone cement or biological fixation. Cemented fixation, achieved with fast-drying bone cement, is commonly used for immediate fixation, particularly in knee joints. However, it faces challenges such […]
By Dr. Neil Canter, Contributing Editor | TLT Tech Beat January 2024 Evaluation of the iron and steel industry was made by organizing plants into six categories based on number of years of operation. HIGHLIGHTS […]
Graphene has been applied on several products, from electronic devices to additives for concrete and polymers due to its unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties . A growing interest is the use of graphene-based materials […]
By Dr. Neil Canter, Contributing Editor | TLT Tech Beat January 2024 Adjusting the counterion of specific catholyte materials led to identification of catholytes that are completely incompatible with anolytes. HIGHLIGHTS • A non-aqueous redox […]
Introduction The articulating interface in artificial joints is crucial for enabling smooth motion, emphasizing the need for an optimal friction coefficient and wear resistance. Complications like excessive wear and aseptic loosening from inadequate tribological design, […]
