Interface structures mediating load transfer between soft and hard tissues

本项目旨在开发一种新的技术平台，调解具有不同力学性能的合成材料和生物材料之间的载荷传递，创造有效的界面机制。它将通过结合跨学科专业知识和计算建模、生物材料和增材制造方面的最新技术，产生材料工程方面的新知识。预期的结果是优化高科技陶瓷结构，有效地连接合成软组织和天然硬组织。这最终将有利于澳大利亚从事开发下一代合成矫形解决方案的行业，在不断扩大的全球市场中提供显著的竞争优势。

This project aims to develop a novel technology platform to mediate load transfer between synthetic and biological materials with dissimilar mechanical properties, creating an effective interface mechanism. It will generate new knowledge in materials engineering by combining interdisciplinary expertise and state-of-the-art technologies in computational modelling, biomaterials, and additive manufacturing. Expected outcomes are high-tech ceramic structures optimized to interface effectively between synthetic soft tissues and natural hard tissues. This could ultimately benefit Australian industry engaged in developing next-generation synthetic orthopaedic solutions, providing a significant competitive advantage in an expanding global market.
