Modulus of Elasticity (Prod 10028)
About Modulus of Elasticity (Prod 10028)
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a "metal foam" that has similar elasticity to bone and could lead to a new generation of implants that avoid bone rejection. The foam is lighter than solid aluminum and can be made of 100% steel or a combination of steel and aluminum, according to a paper scheduled to be published in Materials Science and Engineering: A. The paper highlights the "extraordinarily high-energy absorption capability" and light weight of the foam, as well as a modulus of elasticity that the team says is similar to that of bone. The rough surface of the foam is reported to foster bone growth into the implant, according to a North Carolina State University press release. Vendra L, Rabiei A. To be published in the March 2010 issue of Materials Science and Engineering A. "Evaluation of modulus of elasticity of composite metal foams by experimental and numerical techniques.
