3D PRINTED METAL COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH 2D NANOMATERIALS FOR NEXT-GENERATION BIOMEDICAL IMPLANTS
Lector: doc. Ing. David Nečas, Ph.D.
Institution: Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Field: Tribology
About the project
The increasing demand for articular biomedical implants requires durable and cost-effective solutions. Conventional implants often fail due to wear and material degradation. MXenes offer unique mechanical and tribological properties that reduce friction and wear. Their integration into additively manufactured metal matrix composites remains unexplored and could enable long-lasting, customized implants with significant clinical and economic benefits.
Why science?
Science connects people across generations and continents, from the young to the old, from Japan to Chile. Conversations with people at home and around the world about topics that move our society forward are not only great icebreakers but also deeply inspiring. In my view, good science requires patience, creativity, consideration, and respect for others. These are the values I appreciate most about it.
What do I like most about Brno
It is a place large enough for a person to be themselves, yet just the right size and suitably located on the map so that nothing important is missing.
