Abstract

One of the critical challenges in artificial implant materials is the design of scaffolds and implants that mimic the physical and mechanical behavior of the human bones. Since the introduction of ceramic-based artificial bio-implants in 1960s, the possibility of the usages of metallic biomaterials, e.g., titanium and its alloys, stainless steel and cobalt-chromium alloys have been growing rapidly in biomedical applications [1,2].
