- Additional information
- This research was an international collaboration between UK and India on a project funded by UKIERI-DST (Grant No. 2019-DST-PDW-10156), entitled 'Medical Additive Manufacturing: Cost-effective and Sustainable Solutions for Innovative Development of High-value Added Products and Services'. The output was a new method for producing Ti-based alloys consisted of the controlled porous architecture with near-to-bone features which can be used in medical applications, wherein the implanted scaffold may provide biocompatibility with the cell types important in the bone function and possibly regeneration. The successfully developed Ti-based alloys are potential for making smart implants.
