Soft bearing materials that aim to reproduce the tribological function of the natural joint are gaining popularity as an alternative concept to conventional hard bearing materials in the hip and knee. However, it has not been proven so far that an elastic cushion bearing can be sufficiently durable as a long term (∼20 years) articulating joint prosthesis. The use of new bearing materials should be...
The synchronized lateral spreading and through-penetration of liquid and solid gallium (Ga) in supported thin polycrystalline films of silver (Ag) were studied. The spreading and penetration kinetics were presumably controlled by a common mechanism. The spreading rate in the 0.5μm thick film was found to be constant with time. The activation energies of the process responsible for spreading/penetration...
