Direct ink writing of porous Fe-HA metal-matrix composites (MMCs) with independently adjustable porosity and degradation rate for bone implant applications

The porosity and degradation rate are critical properties of biodegradable bone implants, as they facilitate the regeneration of bone tissues and ensure a gradual load transfer. Herein, porous iron-hydroxyapatite (Fe-HA) metal-matrix composites (MMCs) with independently adjustable porosity and degra...
