Research

Ongoing projects:
-
Development of novel electrochemically-deposited calcium phosphate coatings for dental and orthopedic implants. Coatings prepared in our lab have already demonstrated better performance than commercial plasma-sprayed coatings and are currently on the way to market.
Check the Smart Bioactive Trabecular Coating (SBTC) sold by SGS Dental (http://sgs-dental.com/index.php/surface-treatment/). -
The use of Bio-Ferrography for diagnosing osteoarthritis or cancer, determining the efficacy of drug treatments, and monitoring the wear of artificial joints. Our lab is the leader in this area worldwide.
-
Additive manufacturing (AM): electrochemical printing, directed energy deposition (DED), and powder bed fusion (PBF).
-
Corrosion and mechanical behavior of as well as hydrogen interaction with additive manufactured (3D-printed) alloys.
-
Electrochemical deposition of functional metals, alloys and metallic glasses.
-
Shape memory polymers for Space applications.
