| Abstract Scope |
Over the recent decade the authors have performed numerous investigations to improve existing metallic biomaterials (Ti and Ti alloys, stainless steels, Mg and Fe alloys) by their nanostructuring for advanced medical applications using severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing. Nanostructured metals exhibit enhanced strength and fatigue life, which makes them an excellent choice for fabrication of implants with improved designs for dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Moreover, surface modification of nanometals by chemical etching and bioactive coatings significantly improve other bioproperties that are important for medical devices. In this report we also discuss recent results on manufacturing nanostructured biometals with improved properties and the examples of fabrication of miniaturized medical implants with enhanced osseointegration. |
