Green synthetic sodium alginate-glycerol-MXene nanocomposite membrane with excellent flexibility and mineralization ability for guided bone regeneration
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 22;150:106336. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106336. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDeveloping a novel bioactive material as a barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgery remains challenging. As a new member of two-dimensional (2D) material family, MXene is a promising candidate component for barrier membranes due to its high specific surface area and osteogenic differentiation ability. In this work, a green and simple SA/glycerol/MXene (SgM) composite membrane was prepared via solvent casting method by using sodium alginate (SA) and MXene (M) as raw materials while employing ...

Zoledronate reduces loading-induced microdamage in cortical ulna of ovariectomized rats
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 28;150:106350. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106350. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs a daily physiological mechanism in bone, microdamage accumulation dissipates energy and helps to prevent fractures. However, excessive damage accumulation might bring adverse effects to bone mechanical properties, which is especially problematic among the osteoporotic and osteopenic patients treated by bisphosphonates. Some pre-clinical studies in the literature applied forelimb loading models to produce well-controlled microdamage in cortical bone. Ovariectomized animals were also extensively studied to as...

An effective route to the additive manufacturing of a mechanically gradient supramolecular polymer nanocomposite structure
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 29;150:106358. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106358. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT3D Printing techniques are additive methods of fabricating parts directly from computer-aided designs. Whilst the clearest benefit is the realisation of geometrical freedom, multi-material printing allows the introduction of compositional variation and highly tailored product functionality. The paper reports a proof-of-concept additive manufacturing study to deposit a supramolecular polymer and a complementary organic filler to form composites with gradient composition to enable spatial distribution of mechani...

Multi-response optimisation analysis of material properties in dental restorative composites under the influence of thermal and thermomechanical stimuli - A 3D finite element study
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the importance of choosing the suitable material properties of the restoration composite by dental clinicians to repair a large class MOD cavity. The findings from this study also suggest that the difference in the values of E and CTE in a dental restoration composite when compared with the enamel causes a lack of uniformity in mechanical and thermal properties, thereby forming stress concentrations at the interfaces. The study establishes two optimised CTE and E values for the MOD restoration composite as 25 × 10-6 °C-1 and 20 GPa and 37 × 10-6 °C-1 and 5 GPa, respectively.PMID:381692...

Comparison of surface roughness parameters R a /S a and R z /S z with different measuring devices
DISCUSSION: The surface roughness on different dental materials and differently machined surfaces were influenced by the individual mechanical and optical measuring devices. Optical methods measure a significantly higher roughness value for all materials and surface finishes.PMID:38169209 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106349 (Source: Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials)

Indentation mechanics and native collagen content in the cartilaginous endplate: A comparison between porcine cervical and human lumbar spines
This study characterized the regional indentation mechanics and native collagen content in cartilaginous endplates (CEPs) from the porcine cervical spine, young human lumbar spine, and aged human lumbar spine. Seventeen endplates were included in this study: six porcine cervical, nine young human lumbar, and two aged human lumbar. Width and depth measurements were obtained using a digital caliper and used to size-normalize and identify the central, anterior, posterior, and lateral regions. Regional microindentation tests were performed using a serial robot, where surface locations were loaded/unloaded at 0.1 mm/s and held ...

Rotational 3D shear wave elasticity imaging: Effect of knee flexion on 3D shear wave propagation in in vivo vastus lateralis
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 23;150:106302. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106302. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSkeletal muscle is a complex tissue, exhibiting not only direction-dependent material properties (commonly modeled as a transversely isotropic material), but also changes in observed material properties due to factors such as contraction and passive stretch. In this work, we evaluated the effect of muscle passive stretch on shear wave propagation along and across the muscle fibers using a rotational 3D shear wave elasticity imaging system and automatic analysis methods. We imaged the vastus lateralis of 10 hea...

Development of a multilayer fetal membrane material model calibrated using bulge inflation mechanical tests
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 28;150:106344. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106344. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe fetal membranes are an essential mechanical structure for pregnancy, protecting the developing fetus in an amniotic fluid environment and rupturing before birth. In cooperation with the cervix and the uterus, the fetal membranes support the mechanical loads of pregnancy. Structurally, the fetal membranes comprise two main layers: the amnion and the chorion. The mechanical characterization of each layer is crucial to understanding how each layer contributes to the structural performance of the whole membran...
