Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technique with the ability to produce
metallic scaffolds with accurately controlled pore size, porosity, and interconnectivity for …

A porous structure comprises pores and pore throats with a complex three-dimensional (3D)
network structure, and many investigators have described the relationship between average …

Porous bioactive titanium implants (porosity of 40%) were produced by a plasma-spray method
and subsequent chemical and thermal treatments of immersion in a 5M aqueous NaOH …
