This Special Issue on bioceramic composites and its published papers, addressing a number of current topics from industry and academia, are intended to be a reference for students and scholars in the field of biomaterials science, giving an insight into challenges and research topics in the field bioceramic composites [...]
Highlights
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations
Zirconia–alumina composites have attracted a great deal of attention because of their superior mechanical behavior, and new compositions are under development
Particular emphasis is given to calcium phosphates and silicates, as well as to doping with bioactive ions, aiming to enhance osteogenic ability and bioresorbability
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Hybrid biopolymer/ceramic materials mimicking the complex composition and multiscale structure of bone tissue are a new class of biomimetic materials that are very promising in regenerative medicine. These themes are further developed by Burger and Kiefer [2], who offer an exhaustive presentation on the issues that led to the production of BIOLOXdelta®, the ceramic composite that is today’s golden standard in the bearings for total hip replacements.
