A novel Ti-Nb-xAg Superelastic Alloy with Enhanced Anti-bacterial and Superelastic Properties for Biomedical Implant
Combining novel superelastic Ti–40Nb alloys with the long-term, broad-spectrum antibacterial functionality of silver (Ag) represents a promising strategy to address stress shielding and bacterial infection in orthopedic implantations. In this study, Ti–40Nb–xAg (x = 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt.%) alloys were synthesized via mech...
