Multi-Scale Characterization Advances: Interface Techniques for Bone and Biomaterials

Aakshi Kainthola

The necessity for biomedical devices to aid the functional healing of tissues has resulted in continued improvements in biomaterials production and characterization. Bone tissue is one such tissue for which biomaterials technologies are continuously being pursued. Bone, on the other hand, is a hierarchical material with a heterogeneous structure and chemistry throughout a wide range of length scales. Because of this complexity, the development and understanding of osseointegration, or the attachment of bone to implant materials, has remained a difficulty. Before learning how biomaterials interact with bone tissue, it's vital to understand the fundamentals of bone's structural and chemical organisation.
