…, SF Fischerauer, AC Hänzi, PJ Uggowitzer, JF Löffler… - Acta biomaterialia, 2012 - Elsevier
This study investigates the bone and tissue response to degrading magnesium pin implants
in the growing rat skeleton by continuous in vivo microfocus computed tomography (μCT) …

Bulk metallic glasses

JF Löffler - Intermetallics, 2003 - Elsevier
In the last decade metallic glasses have regained considerable interest due to the fact that
new glass-forming compositions have been found that have a critical cooling rate of less than …

Design strategy for biodegradable Fe-based alloys for medical applications

M Schinhammer, AC Hänzi, JF Löffler, PJ Uggowitzer - Acta biomaterialia, 2010 - Elsevier
The aim of this article is to describe a design strategy for the development of new biodegradable
Fe-based alloys offering a performance considered appropriate for temporary implant …

On the in vitro and in vivo degradation performance and biological response of new biodegradable Mg–Y–Zn alloys

AC Hänzi, I Gerber, M Schinhammer, JF Löffler… - Acta biomaterialia, 2010 - Elsevier
A design strategy deployed in developing new biodegradable Mg–Y–Zn alloys is summarized
