High-strength and Corrosion Resistant Alloy for Patient-Specific Bioresorbable Bone Fixation Hardware
TS-042526 — Novel ternary and quaternary Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys and a heat treatment process for producing bioresorbable bone fixation implants with improved mechanical and corrosion properties
Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys are the most promising alloy system for bone implant applications mainly due to their superior biocompatibility. For fixation applications, the ideal is a material strong enough to hold while healing (2-4 months) yet being fully resorbed after the bones have healed (6-24 mont…

Scalable Method for the Synthesis and Functionalization of Well-Defined Degradable Polyesters
TS-038145 — A new method to create degradable polyesters that is more efficient than current methods, and allows for small and large productions.
The Need
A recent study has shown that over 6.3 million fractures occur in the United States every year, while more than 36 million people have arthritis. One of the methods to help treat this is with bone-tissue engineering, using materials such as poly(lactic acis), poly(glycolic acid), and other…
