As part of her dissertation, Wiebke investigated the mechanical stability of porous titanium structures in sub-project B05 of the CRC 1270 ELAINE. These titanium structures are produced by layer-by-layer application using the 3D printing process because it enables different degrees of porosity of the material. The porous titanium structures are suitable for implants as the porosity supports the ingrowth of the implant into the surrounding bone and reduces bone resorption.
The dissertation (in German) is available at https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00004193
We congratulate Dr Wiebke Radlof on winning the sponsorship award!
