A preliminary investigation of nanomechanical and vascular compatibility of phase-engineered CuCoZrNbAl high-entropy alloys for stent-graft applications.
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising candidates for cardiovascular implants due to their adjustable phase structure and excellent mechanical reliability. However, it remains challenging to achieve both mechanical resilience and biological endothelialization simultaneously. This study engineered CuCoZrNb...
