Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of the Special Issue on “Biomedical Composites: Material Science and Corrosion Resistance Aspects” is to collect high-quality papers and reviews on the theoretical and experimental study of composite biomedical materials evidencing recent progresses in material science and electrochemical biocorrosion aspects. The use of composite biomaterials is finalized to solve the constraints of single materials by highlighting their functionality in the human body environment. All research groups with different backgrounds working in this area are invited to propose to the Special Issue the development of their research on all types of biomedical composite materials with both theoretical and experimental approaches. 

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Synthesis of composites for biomedical applications;
  • Composite coatings with improved biocorrosion resistance;
  • Physicochemical, electrochemical, mechanical, tribological, biological, structural and functional characterization of biomedical composites;
  • Theoretical modeling of the synthesis processes or the functioning of composite biomaterials in the human body.

Biocomposite materials are widely implemented in various applications in clinical dentistry and orthopedics since it is possible to combine multiple materials by relying on their compatibility. Ceramic-based materials have osteogenic and osteoconductive features owing to their inorganic constituents with dental and bone tissue. β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and bioactive glass have excellent biocompatibility, bioresorbability, and bioactivity. In this study, β-TCP and BG powders were fabricated by spray pyrolysis (SP) and spray drying (SD). These fabrication methods are suitable for the mass production and synthesis of spherical particles. At first, β-TCP and BG spherical particles were synthesized by SP and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). After that, these powders were granulated with the different weight ratios of β-TCP/BG = 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100 by SD. The resulting granulation powders were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, and SEM to investigate phase compositions and microstructures. In addition, cytotoxicity was investigated using the MTT assay.
