Katti, PhD Modulus mapping and on-site field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) nanoindentation are both applied for the first time on ‘undisturbed’ healthy human and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) human cortical bones in this work. Modulus...

... size. Variations to the amount of porogen did not affect the macrostructure of the scaffolds and led to the controllable introduction of microporosity to the struts. Osteoblast-like MG-63 cell culture and assay tests indicated that the scaffolds are not cytotoxic and suitable for use as bone grafts...

...James Meredith; Kajal K. Mallick Repair of large skeletal defects that are intrinsic to skeletal stability represents the greatest challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. ¹ Despite extensive research to replicate the mechanical properties of bones in a synthetic alternative none...

...Sophie C. Cox, PhD; Richard I. Walton, PhD; Kajal K. Mallick Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely researched calcium phosphate biomaterial that is used primarily in bone replacement due to its chemical similarity to bone mineral. Many synthesis methods have been reported for the production...

...Natasha H. Munro, PhD; Kathryn M. McGrath, PhD Materials which can augment and repair the function of damaged bone are required. Metals, ceramics and plastics have been widely used as artificial bone implants, although their material properties are not optimally matched to those of the native bone...

...Chunju Gu, MSc; Dinesh R. Katti, PhD; Kalpana S. Katti, PhD Viscoelasticity of bone has been of interest for many years because this time-dependent mechanical property relates to the fracture risk of bone under dynamic loading. Several factors have been claimed to contribute to this property...
