Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been the gold standard for total knee replacements. Due to the knee's natural movements, UHMWPE wear debris production is inevitable. The debris, at the micron and submicron level,…
Gel spinning is the industrial method of choice for combining hydrophilic ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polymer resins with a hydrophobic support polymer to produce composite filaments for cytapheresis. Cytapheresis is a medical…
Robust nanoporous polymer films with approximate 100-nm thicknesses would be broadly applicable in technological areas such as flexible sensors, artificial skins, separators, antireflection and self-cleaning films. However, the creation of…
Alumina-zirconia nano-composites were recently developed as alternative bearing materials for orthopedics. Previous, preliminary reports show that such alumina-zirconia nanocomposites exhibit high crack resistance and low wear rate. In this…
This paper investigates deteriorations in knee and ankle dynamics during running. Changes in lower limb accelerations are analyzed by a wearable musculo-skeletal monitoring system. The system employs a machine learning technique to classify…
Ultra high performance concretes (UHPCs) are cementitious composite materials with high level of perfor- mance characterized by high compressive strength, high tensile strength and superior durability, reached by low water-to-binder ratio,…
Cryogenic fuels, such as liquid hydrogen and liquid natural gas, emerge as versatile and sustainable energy carriers that are revolutionising various industries including aerospace, automotive, marine, and power generation. Thermoplastic…
Wear on total knee replacements (TKRs) is an important criterion for their performance characteristics. Numerical simulations of such wear has seen increasing attention over the last years. They have the potential to be much faster and less…
The advent of machine learning in materials science opens the way for exciting and ambitious simulations of large systems and long time scales with the accuracy of ab-initio calculations. Recently, several pre-trained universal machine…
Hyperpolarized water can be a valuable aid in protein NMR, leading to amide group 1H polarizations that are orders of magnitude larger than their thermal counterparts. Suitable procedures can exploit this to deliver 2D 1H-15N correlations…
High-entropy MBenes (HE-MBenes) represent a promising, unexplored class of 2D materials for electrocatalysis. In this work, we present a systematic computational screening of 56 equiatomic quinary HE-MBene compositions from the {Ti, V, Cr,…
Polymer composites are ideal candidates for next generation biomimetic soft materials because of their exquisite bottom-up designability. However, the richness of behaviours comes at a price: the need for precise and extensive…
Local strain engineering is an exciting approach to tune the optoelectronic properties of materials. Two dimensional (2D) materials such as 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are particularly well suited for this purpose because…
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted considerable attention owing to their excellent biodegradable properties and biocompatibility. Novel Mg-Sn-Ge ternary Mg alloys were developed as potential biodegradable materials for orthopedic…
Bicontinuous nanoporous materials possess remarkable mechanical properties, such as higher specific strength and lower specific modulus compared to fully dense materials combined with low densities and high specific surface areas.…
The techno-economic and safety concerns of battery capacity knee occurrence call for developing online knee detection and prediction methods as an advanced battery management system (BMS) function. To address this, a transferable…
A survival analysis model for predicting time-to-total knee replacement (TKR) was developed using features from medical images and clinical measurements. Supervised and self-supervised deep learning approaches were utilized to extract…
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. Early detection of allograft injury is important to delay or prevent irreversible damage. PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of…
Advancements in wireless ultrasound technology allow for point of care cartilage imaging, yet validation against traditional ultrasound units remains to be established for knee cartilage outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to…
Calibrating and verifying crystal plasticity material models is a significant challenge, particularly for materials with a number of potential slip and twin systems. Here we use digital image correlation on coarse-grained $\alpha$-uranium…
