Project Background
The project will scope opportunities to utilise new classes of metallic biomaterials for the fabrication of biomedical devices and devices for their delivery. It will include assessment of the impacts of processing technologies on properties and structure. This project will identify subsequent opportunities for the application of new classes of biomaterials and new advanced manufacturing technologies to the production of components for biomedical devices.
