Slippery-liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have provided a new research direction in bioinspired materials. These composite materials are obtained starting from a micro/nanostructured surface, metallic or polymeric, in which an appropriate lubricant fluid is infused. The lubricant penetrates into the surface pores and is trapped by the...

A novel green method for graphene oxide (GO) reduction via ascorbic acid has been adopted to realize bio-friendly reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers meshes, as substrates for bone tissue engineering applications. PCL fibrous mats enriched with either RGO or GO (0.25 wt%) were fabricated to recapitulate the fibrillar...

New improvements of bone cements and self healing properties

"Katana", cubic Zirconia firstly introduced on the market by Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., Tokyo, Japan has been introduced as a new restorative material for Inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPDs), replacing missing dentition. Various studies already exist on Zirconia on literature have been conducted on the flexural strength of such...
