This project is being carried out in collaboration with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Dentistry, National University of Singapore (NUS).Â
I have been working on this project under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Manoj Gupta, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore since May 2019.
The main objective of this project is to identify suitable biodegradable materials that can be used for temporary implant applications.
I was involved in studying the mechanical aspects of the Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn system which were cast through the Disintegrated Metal Deposition (DMD) route available at the Materials Laboratory in NUS.
I had carried out the casting as well as secondary processing including hot extrusion of the system. The characterization of these samples was carried out using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties and hardness were also evaluated apart from the physical testing including density and damping analysis.
Note: Further technical details regarding the project haven't been disclosed due to confidentiality.
