“…Titanium and its alloys show a high degree of biocompatibility, , high tensile strength (pure titanium: 550 MPa), and a relatively lower range of Young’s modulus (pure titanium: 110 GPa), ,,,− which is still too high when compared with that of the cortical bone. ,,,− Titanium can be an ideal candidate for implant applications provided its Young’s modulus could be brought further closer to that of the human bone. Introduction of porosity may help in reducing its Young’s modulus . Different methods have been previously used for the development of titanium foams, which include melt infiltration, , space holders, − replication, , bubble generation, − freeze casting, − and rapid prototyping. − A method that provides accurate control of the volume fraction of pores, pore morphology, pore size, and pore interconnectivity needs to be developed.…”
